How long until we get Godzooky in Magic: The Gathering?

Godzilla is in Magic: The Gathering and Magic: The Gathering Arena. The “King of Monsters” is now a card in the latest expansion for the digital and physical CCG. Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths features heavy-hitter beasts from the game’s lore, but the real stars are Toho creations like Mothra, Biollante, Ghidorah, and Rodan. There are 19 Godzilla themed cards spread throughout the set. Collectors will likely be scrambling for the three Japanese exclusive cards, so hoard away, little monsters!

I’m fairly happy with how WOTC handled this. None of the Godzilla-themed cards are easy to get, but neither are they necessary to play. Each Godzilla card has a functionally equivalent “Magic world” creature that does exactly the same thing in terms of play. So the collectors aren’t going to drive up the price to the point where players can’t get a card they want to play, and neither will a particularly powerful card make a major impact on collection prices.

But they did have one big miss. Where is the agreement with the Sharknado guys for this one? :)

Oh no, there goes Tokyo, go go Godzooky!
