Trailer for expansion set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.

Magic: The Gathering's publisher Wizards of the Coast has a cross-promo deal with Toho, owners of the Godzilla franchise (Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters, etc.), hence the Godzilla card at the end of the trailer. This entire Ikoria set is themed around kaiju / giant monsters and has many other cross-promotional cards related to the Godzilla franchise.

Wizards of the Coast (WotC) had to issue a statement on Spacegodzilla due to some really unlucky timing:

WotC said:
Months ago, when Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths was finalized, the world was a very different place. As we all adjust to a world altered by the spread of COVID-19, the word "corona" has taken on a new meaning.

WotC said:
In context, the card we're about to show you made sense when it was originally conceived—"the Corona Beam" is Spacegodzilla's traditional breath weapon. However, we were unable to change our printing in time to address the new meaning of corona. The initial printing of Ikoria will arrive on shelves soon and this card will be part of the set, but we are taking steps to remove or change the card where possible.

WotC said:
First, all reprints of Ikoria will remove this card. Second, we'll be renaming the card on Magic: The Gathering Arena to Spacegodzilla, Void Invader. Finally, Magic Online, which will be offering the special Godzilla Series Monster versions of cards only in Treasure Chests, will not distribute this card.

no one knows exactly what our #SeaKraken looks like, but #MTGKaldheim's take on the beast is ice cold. plus, it looks like it may even come in handy against sharks, knights and killers whales...
