- The Godzilla Alt Versions from Ikoria are sick as fuck but are they actually good representations of the Kaiju from the Godzilla Canon?
Like this video? Buy me a Godzilla card: ko-fi.com/fishmtg

Fishe really knows how to strike while the iron's hot. If extended was still a thing Ikoria would be gone this rotation.
Jesus, this new rotation thing is gonna take forever lol
I am nothing if not timely. Be sure to stick around for next year when I finally make the Phyrexia story video
@@FishMTG oh man, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Argentum becoming Mirrodin!
The only Godzilla movie I've ever seen is Shin Godzilla but I think Yidaro fits pretty well. The whole thing with Shin Godzilla is how there's a ton of advance warning that he's coming but nobody does anything about it until it's too late, so I think an ability that's reminiscent of the Infernal Spawn of Evil "He's coming!" thing where you repeatedly let your opponent know he's getting closer is neat and suitable.
its actually a super good fit, the whole point of the movie is the sluggish government being too slow to stop the thing
It's crazy the amount of effort that went into animating Biollante in film, her tendrils were controlled by wires suspended from the ceiling and it took about 20 people to operate her. That's my bit of godzilla trivia. Shame she didn't get a more flavorful card :(
2:10 I'm here to defend Yidaro as Shin Godzilla. Does our big guy pop out of the sea as the fully-fledged lizard we know and love? No. He takes time to build up, same as Yidaro taking a few Cycles to emerge as the big Hastey Trampler. Additionally, although Cycling doesn't strictly have consistent flavour, the act of discarding and drawing has been flavoured as adapting your plans to sudden and unexpected situations (especially in Ikoria). So although Yidaro himself isnt adapting like Shin G, you the player are.
I actually play Ghidorah as my commander in my favorite EDH deck and the way I have interpreted his special ability when he mutates he's essentially that scene from King of the Monsters where he roars on top of the volcano and wakes up all the other Titans, rising them from the deck where they were sleeping. That deck also runs attack doublers/damage triplers to make Ghidorah absolutely MASSIVE. Biggest I've gotten him without much/too much effort was around 26,000 power (and then had it fight Brash Taunter, whose damage got x9 then x9 for a total of around 2,106,000 damage)
Also, while this somewhat requires a specific deck build, if you put Gigan as the commander and a deck full even CMC clones, you can relatively easily recreate that Godzilla Gigan short that came out last year where it was essentially a mass produced monster that overwhelms
It's interesting that all of these cards weren't designed to be the specific characters, but still did a pretty job lining them up. When they actually make the card from the bottom up they've been doing even better.
I learned a lot about Kaiju today, thank you
FIIIIIIRST
Love to the Fish, you make spectacular content
I watched that weird trilogy with the space dwarves and space elves. I get the reference!
Also Singular Point Jet Jaguar is a shining beacon of light in a hopeless void and I want a card of him.
Mechagodzilla, battle fortress would probably have fit better as walking ballista, but Wizards is allergic to meaningful reprints i guess.
I know Kaiju enjoyers HATE Zilla. But i would want a Zilla Card.
Zilla card would 420% be a Colossal Dreadmaw reskin
@@neoclassicalsuccubus2899 Colossal Dreadmaw Zilla would go hard NGL
just make it Zilla Jr. from the cartoon and I'm sure everybody would be down
I suppose you sort of said it yourself in case of why space godzilla isn't the crystal giant. 3 mana 3/3 doesn't give off that big final boss energy.
Love the pin. Love the content. Love the channel. Keep up the amazing work, fish!
The biggest reason why the Shin Godzilla one doesn't work is because Gamera is the perfect fit but doesn't belong to Toho sadge
Very happy to see this. Ikoria's Godzilla crossovers got one of my friends back into the game is how good an idea it was. Also 100% agree on Shin Godzilla. I saw it in theaters and it was a religious experience.
Technically Gigan can bring himself back if you mill another copy of him. I learned stuff and I laughed. Gonna check out more of your videos.
I'm just saying - king of the monsters is clearly his Heisei era depiction. Not Showa
Dang now I really want to rewatch them but my TVs broken :(
Great video tho loved it :)
The magic content we were all waiting for. Zilla format when
Great video, love the godzilla cards...
I now want the Death Corona version just because.xD
Primeval Champion's ability to empower another creature is sorta accurate, mostly just going off the end of Destroyah where all the radiation empowers Godzilla Jr to become the new Godzilla. It would be cool if it was Burning Godzilla instead of generic, but it's still in that era.
Biolante has always been my favorite. It was cool to see her, but I agree, WotC did her dirty.
I never knew I needed this
Funny how you show Godzilla Doom Inevitable, a card that has nothing to do with its film counterpart, and follow it up with Anguirus Armored Killer, a card whose mutate ability really belongs on Doom Inevitable.
4:25 Those movies are actually one of the few things I've watched of Godzilla. It's that, Godzilla 1998, the Legendary films, Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Singularity Point.
Now this is good shit, I am a massive godzilla and transformers.
Why did the shin Godzilla not have mutate I will never understand.
Yea I stan megalon and baragon. surly they will get a card
You take that back! Gigan is cool as hell!
I’m a huge fan of the Heisei series so I’m bummed they didn’t have Legendary versions of Mothra, MechaGodzilla, and Destoroyah. I would’ve loved to have made a Commander deck for each movie in the series
Learned about Godzilla! All fair grades :)
0:34 that's heisei Godzilla
and is closer than primeval champion when it comes to suit accuracy
2:35 Anguirusaurus killer of the living a title used for him in gigantis the fire monster. And reedit of Godzilla raids again
4:00 the ghidroah wings look like those of toho designs and the heads look like showa ones without a mane and we have dorats in the game so probably its heisei
6:22 literally a stylized version of the final wars design which you show in the video so not sure how its weird
8:23 in reference to a stellar corona or the outermost layer of a star's atmosphere
There are a couple of cards in ikoria that definitely made me go "why is this card NOT ____ kaiju?"
Archipelagore = Ebirah
Gemstone Recluse = Kumonga
Umori = hedorah
I really don't see Showa Godzilla in the art of King of the Monsters.
Magic and godzilla was a great crossover
I had misremembered them as having made a Baragon.
God I love Godzilla
Jet jaguar Singluar point needs to be a Planes walker
Thank you FishMTG
Imagine biollante as the necrobloom 😮❤
Slay
You sure that king of the monsters Godzilla from the 70s? Looks more like the original Godzilla or even the newer one In king of the monsters (3rd black and white movie) shares the name of the card too.
Hedorah would be my first pick too, in spite of the movie and how it ended. Or because of it???
i want me a megalon card, more bug lads please
King of the Monsters is definitely Heisei Era Godzilla.
Random question:
Do you plan on making a video about Phyrexia and phyrexians lore? Other people dont explain it nearly as simple or nearly as hilarious as you
I will get to it eventually! I have a lot of reading to do first
Good video
Mothra also got her egg
Hey I just saw your tiny leaders video, do you still play at phoenix comics?
I don’t live in Calgary anymore but I always make sure to visit when I’m home :)
I know godzilla already got three cards, but man it woulda been great if one of them was the legendary godzilla
hi fish. can you fish? do you eat fish? what happened to aura of invincibility?
Hey. Not really but I've been before. I'm not a huge fan of seafood. I decided the channel was getting to a big enough point that I wanted to have my own branding that I actually owned
It's a 6/6 that cost 5 mana!
None of the Godzillas are Showa era.
Bro that is heisei Godzilla
Shin godzilla has 4 forms and yidaro cycles 4 times
Ohhhh damn this is a great point
Desteroyah does best on my opinion
the king of the monsters godzilla looks more like heisei era godzilla to me
Dorat specifically does *not* synergize with mutate, only creature spells have mutate
