A lot may not know, but I am a pretty big Godzilla fan so I am pretty damn excited that there are some Godzilla themed cards coming to MTG. Pretty out of the blue, but not at all surprising considering how MTG does in Japan. I will post a link to all the reveals(only in Japanese so far) and post a couple of my favourites as photos.
Now that Pokémon has gone Kaiju, said it before and I’ll say it again with more pride after these.
They have gotta collab with either Toho, Super Sentai or Neon Genesis Evangelion.
It’s going in a backwards circle originating from it’s manifestation of the nuclear holocausts to victim mentality. Like with how my pal hasn’t quite been settled with.
If you are a godzilla fan here is one of my favorite collectibles I own. Had all 3 suit actors sign it for me. Haruo Nakajima front (RIP 2017). Tsutomu Kitagawa (top right), and Kenpachiro Satsuma (top left).
2nd, this is, by my count, Godzilla’s third official TCG appearance. He was first featured in Battle Spirits, which had a short run in the West, but remains one of the longest running TCGs in Japan. Battle Spirits had 2 main toho collaboration booster sets, along with a number of promotional releases and a special card file (I think there was also a structure deck, but I’d have to check on that). If you’re looking for a more fulsome Godzilla TCG collecting experience, I’d start there.
His second TCG appearance was in Weiss Schwarz - which had a trial deck and extra booster set (basically a mini booster set) based on the animated movies currently on netflix.
