Godzilla is coming to Magic: The Gathering

Normally, I would not post about card games here, just not my normal thing but when I heard that Magic: The Gathering was getting an amazing new roster of characters this week, I was intrigued, but I never considered this. The new card set, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, will bring some of Toho Co Ltd’s most famous monsters to the game, yep, that is correct, Godzilla is coming to Magic: The Gathering.

Each Godzilla Monster Series card will feature a monster from the pantheon of the Godzilla franchise as a Magic card from Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. There will be a total of 16 Godzilla Series Monster cards available in English, with three more available only in Japanese:

  • Anguirus, Armored Killer

  • Babygodzilla, Ruin Reborn

  • Biollante, Plant Beast Form

  • Bio-Quartz Spacegodzilla

  • Destoroyah, Perfect Lifeform

  • Dorat, the Perfect Pet

  • Ghidorah, King of the Cosmos

  • Gigan, Cyberclaw Terror

  • Godzilla, Doom Inevitable

  • Godzilla, King of the Monsters

  • Godzilla, Primeval Champion

  • King Caesar, Ancient Guardian

  • King Caesar, Awoken Titan

  • Mothra, Supersonic Queen

  • Rodan, Titan of Winged Fury

  • Spacegodzilla, Void Invader

And the three Japanese only cards:

  • 決戦兵器、メカゴジラ (Crystalline Giant)

  • 暗黒破壊獣、バトラ (Dirge Bat)

  • モスラの巨大な繭 (Mothra’s Great Cocoon)

Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths is the autumn 2020 premier card set for Magic: The Gathering and introduces players to a brand new world full of incredible monsters and the humans that bond with them.

“Magic: The Gathering’s rich and engaging multiverse offers such unique opportunities to explore new worlds like Ikoria, filled with incredible monsters that are larger than life,” said Kyoko Yoshida, Sr Manager, Japan Sales and Marketing, Wizards of the Coast. “Collaborating with TOHO CO., LTD to bring the Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah and more onto the same world to battle with Magic’s Planeswalkers and new creatures for a first-of-its-kind collaboration is an extraordinary experience that we can’t wait for players to enjoy.”

Some packs will be available from April 16 direct from the games official store, but most will hit retailers around the world on May 15th.
