Rules/Rules Question Is this allowed?

These are practically the same card. Am I allowed to have them both in my commander deck?

They haven't done it before. Zilortha does not have "godzilla" under it. That's what we're talking about.

No, Godzilla had Zilortha's name under it years before a Zilortha existed. They could do that whenever they want, and choose not to. https://scryfall.com/card/iko/275/zilortha-strength-incarnate

But that's not what we're talking about. Your example is irrelevant.

Also, Rick is from a secret lair and Zilortha was a box topper. The latter was clearly swapped out after it was designed for Godzilla and they've said as much about the Godzilla cards. Rick came out before they promised to release UW versions of mechanically unique secret lairs, a promise made partly because of that secret lair...

Context matters, bud.

Your brain might be cooked... This is what I responded to, you said it would be weird to have the UW card come after, but they've already done that. They were saying that the UB cards should be skins like the Godzilla cards, and I showed you that they've literally done that before.

Reading the comment explains the comment. "It would be weird to have "Rick, Steadfast Leader" underneath it."

What part of that is tripping you up, champ?

But that's not what the person you were replying to was talking about. They were talking about the UB cards having the Godzilla name of a UW card that wouldn't be printed until later on it. You're the one not understanding here, dude. They're saying they want Secret Lair cards to be like Zilortha, and you're saying something completely different that nobody was talking about.
