What is Lorcana?

Lorcana is a trading card game (TCG) announced by Disney developed in partnership with designers at Ravensburger. You, as an "illumineer," will summon alternate versions of Disney characters (both heroes and villains) in an attempt to be the first to reach 20 points (called Lore).
It is similar to other TCGs like Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and Pokémon.

I am familiar with TCG basics, dabbled in Magic, played many boardgames. I am curious about Lorcana but so far all I know about it is that it's a Disney themed TCG.

What makes the game intriguing to you? What are some unique aspects of it? Anything you don't like about it? How much do I have to be into the theme to enjoy it? How much would I have to spend to enjoy the game 2p with my partner?

On how much you have to spend: I bought one of each starter deck. That was around 70€ overall. Those have been great fun. Then I invested around 10€ to upgrade each deck. Sadly now one of the decks has become way better than than the other two, so it's actually less fun in a non-competitive environment than with just the starter decks... Will probably build them back to the starters for at-home play

I'm planning that once I get my wife and friends into it more that we might take turns picking an ink color and go down the line and sort of "pick teams".

So if I was playing with three people, player 1 gets to pick the first color, player 2 the second color. Player 3, the third and fourth colors. Player 2 the fifth color, and player 1 the sixth color. That might help balance things out.
