Beatdown Magic The Gathering Cards
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.
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 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.
Of the cards there was a mistake where the card Clockwork Avian was printed without flying.
