Beatdown is a box set that was released in October 2000.
Description
The name was derived from a slang word that was used at the time for aggro decks.[4] Player's often said the were "applying a beatdown", when creatures were attacking and dealing lots of damage to an opponent.[5][6][7] A "Beatdown deck" is essentially a “weenie” deck full of creatures that cost between one and four mana.[8]
Beatdown is notable for containing the only black-bordered card ever printed with the 
symbol, a reprint of Fireball. All other printings of the card, as well as its Oracle text, use only 
. The symbol has otherwise only been used on the Unglued card, The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast® Customer Service.

- Two 61-card preconstructed theme decks, each containing five rares
- Including four cards with alternate art: Erhnam Djinn, Ball Lightning, Clockwork Beast and Sengir Vampire[9]
- Two 20-sided Spindown life counters
