Wizards of the Coast will pull "Spacegodzilla, Death Corona," a Godzilla Series Monster card planned for Magic: The Gathering – Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, from reprints of the set, the company announced. "As we all adjust to a world altered by the spread of Covid-19, the word ‘corona’ has taken on a new meaning," the comopany’s announcement said. “In context, the card ...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 new version of the card in subsequent printings, and in Magic: The Gathering Arena from the beginning, will be “Spacegodzilla, Void Invader.” The set will be released in stores next month, after a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic (see "WotC Pushes Back 'Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths'").
The Spacegodzilla card is one of 19 Godzilla crossover cards planned for the set (see “Godzilla Pantheon to Appear in ‘Magic: The Gathering – Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths’”).
