The Godzilla series monster cards were introduced by Wizards of the Coast after teaming up with the company that owns many of the famous Godzilla characters.
Godzilla cards are available through the buy a box promotion, collector boosters, as well via Japanese ‘Zilla promos.
In this article, we’re diving right into the heart of things and discussing everything you need to know about all of the official MTG Godzilla cards.
Godzilla, Doom Inevitable
The Doom Inevitable Godzilla series monster cards are real behemoths (straight out of the Ikoria Lair of Behemoths series) equipped with both Haste and Trample.
This version has a focus on Cycling in addition to being a massive creature, so you get to shuffle Godzilla back into your deck from the graveyard in addition to crushing opponents and toppling buildings.
You can Cycle Godzilla, Doom Inevitable into your library up to four times before it stays in the graveyard for the rest of the game. It is one of the most powerful cards in the whole core series.

CMC: 7

Godzilla, Primeval Champion
The Primeval Champion, Godzilla is one of the biggest creatures in the entire Ikoria Lair of Behemoths set, out of the box. It also comes with Trample and Cycling. That means you can get the card into play a bit easier.
If you’re looking for the Godzilla card that’s raw power and toughness make opponents weak-kneed, this is the one. Thankfully, it is available in multiple packs, as well as via the buy a box promo.
Even more, consider it a bonus that when you Cycle it you get to put a trample counter on a target creature that you control.

Babygodzilla, Ruin Reborn
The smallest, cutest, and least “powerful” Godzilla series monster cards are by far the Babygodzilla, Ruin Reborn cards.. and Wizards of the Coast fans adore them.
The biggest advantage of these little babyzillas is the fact that they drop your creature casting costs by 1 for creatures with mutate.
However, the catch is that you also must draw a card from your deck and discard one as well each time you cast a creature spell with mutate. You can get your hands on a babyzilla through the buy a box promo and opening multiple packs.
Power: 1
Toughness: 3
CMC: 2
Classification: Uncommon
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Spacegodzilla, Death Corona
The Death Corona Spacegodzilla card is one of our favorite cards with Godzilla alternate arts in the entire Godzilla monster series. You may find this card by taking advantage of the buy a box promo.
The actual card is an exclusively printed carbon copy of the Void Invader Spacegodzilla card, with the same CMC, power, toughness, rarity, and classification.
There is no difference between the Death Corona and the original, besides looks. It was available originally at limited events. Today, you may find one in a collector booster.
Power: 8
Toughness: 8
CMC: 8
Classification: Uncommon
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Bio-Quartz Spacegodzilla
The Bio-Quartz version of Spacegodzilla is an interesting one, though not as “powerful” or “tough” as a typical dark destruction beast. However, in the right hands, it is just as destructive in the long run.
The card has Trample, a higher than average power and toughness (though not compared to other ‘Zillas), and Mutate (CMC 5).
Oh yeah, we almost forgot.. you can play this mythic wildcard straight from your graveyard thanks to its Mutate ability!
Power: 6
Toughness: 6
CMC: 4
Classification: Mythic Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Mothra, Supersonic Queen
The Mothra Supersonic Queen is another Wizards of the Coast smash-hit behemoth from the Ikoria set that belongs to the Godzilla monster cards collection.
This Godzilla monster series card is a true fan favorite, especially with fans of both Magic the Gathering and the Godzilla series.
That probably explains why this Godzilla series monster card is even available in the Magic the Gathering Arena while some aren’t.
Power: 4
Toughness: 3
CMC: 4
Classification: Mythic Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Destoroyah, Perfect Lifeform
The Desttoroyah, Perfect Lifeform is a flavor fit for D&D, Magic the Gathering, and Wizards of the Coast fans in general. It is a rare Phoenix, with Mutate (CMC 4) and Flying.
This Godzilla series monster card has a really neat ability too: whenever you Mutate, you get to create a token that allows you to return the card from your graveyard to play when you sacrifice it.
Power and toughness-wise, this Godzilla-class monster doesn’t look like much, but it’s truly a killer card when you get to understand how it works.
Power: 4
Toughness: 4
CMC: 4
Classification: Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Anguirus, Armored Killer
The Armored Killer, Anguirus, is a mediocre size creature at best, judging by power and toughness, but there is more than meets than eye to this beastly beauty.
Whenever this creature uses its Mutate ability, you may target and destroy an artifact or enchantment that’s on the board.
Anguirus, Armored Killer also has the Reach and Trample abilities. That means it is a great stock monster card to buff with counters, enchantments, and other spells.
Power: 4
Toughness: 4
CMC: 5
Classification: Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Ghidorah, King of the Cosmos
Beast Elemental Dinosaur Ghidorah, King of the Cosmos is one of the most gorgeous monsters in the whole Godzilla series. It is one of the most sought-after cards on the Magic the Gathering Arena.
A real king of the monsters type card if ever Wizards of the Coast designed one, this 6/6 comes with Morph, Trample, and Flying abilities.
Plus, of all, the cards available in collector boosters that carry the Godzilla name, this flying beast from the Ikoria lair has some of the best alternative ‘Zilla art.
Power: 6
Toughness: 6
CMC: 5
Classification: Mythic Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Biollante, Plant Beast Form
The Biollante, Plant Beast Form is far from just another run-of-the-mill ‘Zilla type card from Magic the Gathering.
These 5/5 plant beast form monsters have deathtouch and lifelink. That means it kills everything it touches and gives you health points as well.
Also, whenever this big bad boy Mutates, you may return multiple creature cards from your graveyard to your hand. The catch is that the creature’s total power must equal a total of 10 or less.
Power: 5
Toughness: 5
CMC: 5
Classification: Mythic Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
King Caesar, Awoken Titan
The King Caesar Awoken Titan has Double-Strike, Mutate (CMC 5), and whenever it deals damage you get to choose a target to deliver 5 damage points to a creature, player, or planeswalker.
This ‘Zilla card is by far one of the most useful in dealing direct damage, though its power is low and toughness is mediocre at best.
The downside is, you’ll need red, white, and black to summon this magic card. The upside? It’s available on MTG Arena.
Power: 3
Toughness: 5
CMC: 4
Classification: Mythic Rare
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Dorat, the Perfect Pet
Another classic ‘Zilla type card, the Dorat, the Perfect Pet card is a Wizards of the Coast and Magic the Gathering fan-favorite.
A flying Faery dragon, Dorat has a pair of wings and may attack as soon as it’s summoned (thanks to Haste). No wonder it is so well-loved on MTG Arena.
The secret to this card is that you raise a small horde of monsters and craft Godzilla bit-by-bit, as you add +1/+1 counters to Dorat every time you cast an additional creature.
Power: 1
Toughness: 1
CMC: 2
Classification: Uncommon
Group: Core Series
Rodan, Titan of Winged Fury
The Titan of Winged Fury, Rodan, is one of the most intriguing Godzilla cards ever thought up let alone printed by Wizards of the Coast and Magic the Gathering.
These Titans have Flying, First-Strike, and Mutate (CMC 4), making them a formidable ‘Zilla type monsters card.
Whenever Rodan Mutates, you get to cast a creature with 3 or fewer CMC from the graveyard straight to the battlefield (without paying its cost).
Power: 3
Toughness: 3
CMC: 3
Classification: Mythic Rare

Gigan, Cyberclaw Terror
A powerful rare ‘Zilla card, the Gigan Cyberclaw Terror, is yet another Wizards of the Coast classic that belongs to the series. It is available on MTG Arena.
A Demon Kraken, the Gigan Cyberclaw Terror is a perfect lifeform Godzilla and is classified as a Companion.
When Gigan comes onto the field, all players put the top 4 cards of their decks into their graveyards You may put one creature with CMC 4 or less into play, for free, from all the actual cards put into the graveyard this turn by each player.

Spacegodzilla, Void Invader
Perhaps the most deadly Godzilla series monsters cards from the Ikoria Lair of Behemoths are the Spacegodzilla Void Invader card.
The best part about these Godzilla cards is that they come with Deathtouch. So, no matter how much damage is blocked, when they attack, the defending creature dies.
The Spacegodzilla Void Invader is a dark destruction beast, and it allows you to place a deathtouch counter on a creature you control when you use its Cycle ability.
Power: 8
Toughness: 8
CMC: 8

King Caesar, Ancient Guardian
Would designers at Wizards of the Coast ever dream up a giant ‘Zilla-sized cat creature with horns? With Mutate (CMC 2)? …and it belongs to the Ikoria Lair of Behemoths Magic the Gathering set?
Yep, King Caesar, Ancient Guardian, aka King Caesar Awoken Titan. And, as one of the most popular Godzilla alternate art cards definitely deserves a place on our list of Godzilla cards.
The best part about this card is that when it Mutates, other creatures you control gain +X/+X until the end of your turn. The X/X is the number of times this Godzilla card has Mutated.
Power: 3
Toughness: 4
CMC: 4
Classification: Uncommon
Group: Core Ikoria Series
Mothra’s Great Cocoon
Just when you thought you’d seen all the best Godzilla Wizards cards, here’s Mothra’s Giant Cocoon to shake things up for you!
This creature has the ability to spawn +1/+1 counters each time that it mutates. It is definitely the weakest Godzilla card ever released, but still relevant and rather useful for blocking creatures.
Believe it or not, Mothra’s Giant Cocoon is a common card and isn’t at all hard to come by. So, if you plan on collecting all the Godzilla cards from Wizards of the Coast.
Power: 0
Toughness: 2
CMC: 1

Battra, Dark Destroyer
This giant Dark Destroyer, Battra, maybe towards the bottom of this list but it is still a real king of the monsters amongst cards released by Wizards of the Coast.
Don’t let the low to mediocre power and toughness fool you; this card is a true gem:
Battra, Dark Destroyer enters the field with Flash, Mutate (CMC 6), and Flying abilities.
But.. the real kicker? You get to destroy a new target creature or planeswalker that another player control whenever this creature Mutates.

CMC: 4

Mechagodzilla, the Weapon
This version of ‘Zilla is another true king of the monsters type MTG card. Strength Incarnate anyone?
Sure, the power and toughness could be a bit higher, but once you figure out how this Godzilla king works, you’ll understand the true magic of the Mechagodzilla!
Each turn, while Mechagodzilla is on the board, you may choose a type of counter not already present on the ‘Zilla card and place it on the card.
Counter types for Mechagodzilla include deathtouch, hexproof, first strike, flying, lifelink, trample, menace, vigilance, reach, and +1/+1.
