The new MTGA trailer for Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths has giant monsters, punk rock, and even Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
You may remember from our previous report, that Wizards promised to announce a whole bunch of things for Magic’s next thematic set. And oh boy, did they catch us by surprise. The Ikoria preview season is officially kicked off with an action-packed cinematic trailer.
The video starts with a band of warriors charging a huge monster and quickly fades to black in the MTG logo - much in the vein of your typical game or movie trailer. But then, green planeswalker Vivien Reid enters the scene, bow at the ready, and punk anthem Bad Reputation by Joan Jett And The Blackhearts starts blasting!
In the battle scene, Vivian is summoning her trademark animal spirits, but this time - much in the style of Ikoria - they are huge beasts.
There are no critters here. The trailer sets a fun mood full of excitement, epic battles, and giant monsters… or as the Japanese call them, kaiju.
Kaiju is indeed the name of the game because, at the very end, the trailer drops a huge spoiler on us - Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
That’s right, pop-culture’s most legendary monster is entering MTG, followed by his kaiju friends. Frankly, none of us could have expected to see him!This is just the beginning of a preview season for the upcoming set. Make sure to check our MTGA section for everything Ikoria!
