Beatdown is an expansion set for the card game Magic: The Gathering, and the fourth compilation set. It was a set focused on the brutal destruction of opponents. It was created for special reprint purposes only and was not legal in Standard at the time of its release. Beatdown was released as a pair of preconstructed decks combined with accessories, unlike the normal distribution of Magic cards in randomized packs. At the time of release it sold for around $30.00 MSRP, but prices have risen since 2000. Alternate art was done for four cards: Sengir Vampire, Erhnam Djinn, Ball Lightning, and Clockwork Beast. The set itself was white-bordered, and the expansion symbol was a mace.
[edit] About
The Beatdown set was created to destroy opponents. This set included some of the more powerful creatures in the game, to that date, such as the aforementioned Erhnam Djinn, Sengir Vampire, Ball Lightning and Clockwork Beast. The Beatdown set was released in October of 2000. The set includes 122 special edition Magic cards divided into two theme decks, Aerodoom and Ground Pounder. Since it was solely focused around reprints, the set contained no new keywords nor mechanics.
