A surprising crossover nobody saw coming happened recently with the announcement that the monsters from Toho's legendary monster franchise about a radioactive T-Rex called Godzilla would be coming to the card game in the newest expansion Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.

This is very exciting not only to fans of the world's most popular Kaiju but also fans of the long-running card game who want a very different change of pace in their matches. The Godzilla series monster cards are actually alternate art styles for monster cards that exist in the game already, and some are even being limited to an only Japan release.

The Godzilla based cards themselves are extremely gorgeous and very well detailed including some of the best Godzilla monsters from the 66 years long movie franchise. The new art styles include three versions of Godzilla, along with seventeen other kaiju that range from the well known and most popular to some that are known only to the most diehard of Godzilla fans. These cards can be found both in their hard copies in rela life or online in the Magic the Gathering video game. So what better time than now than to rank all of the upcoming cards in order of their potential use on the highly popular tabletop card game series.

10. Dorat, The Perfect Pet

Honestly, there probably are only a handful of Godzilla fans that even know what the hell this creature is and even less know what movie it came from.

What looks like a cross between Ghidora and the Opossums from Ice Age: The Meltdown, these Faerie Dragons appear to be the least dangerous Kaiju ever made.

The artwork on the card shows three fire and water type Dorat's fishing in a jungle deep in the world of Ikoria and not much else. But the card itself has some kind of lame properties.

The mana cost for this card is a simple one red and one blue which can allow for easy summons though this creature won't last long against any strong monsters.

The action description on the card states that when the player casts a noncreature spell they can put a +1/+1 counter on any other Dorat cards, which due to the cards already having 1/1 stats would mean that the player would need to play a lot of the same Dorat cards to be any threat to their opponents.
