Subject: Reasons why not to rant on Beatdowns Subject: A rant on ranting.... Mike I'm just kinda bored with reading all these rants on beatdowns, I mean I run a Beatdown Deck and also have a Burner and a Card Destruction deck. Personally my Beatdown Deck gets me so many more wins then the others and there's a lot of reasons why. Burners, Monster Removal, Card Dest decks and all those other decks all have one big problem, they only work against Beat-Down decks(At least the majority). And I don't know how many tournements I've went to where two people were playing Monster Removal decks(or two of the same decks... you get the idea) against each other and they went no where. Beat-Downs are semi-vunerable to these other decks because they all specifically target Beat-Downs, while a Beat Down deck has to be ready to counter anything. It takes a lot more time to make a Beat-Down deck if you ask me, no matter what you pick to put into the deck you have to make sure you can counter certain decks. And if you want to draw good cards you are only able to put a few counter cards in your deck leaving you vunerable to certain decks. I have no problem with any of the different "genres" of decks, and in fact it's one of the things that makes the game fun. I would hate to see everyone with Beat-Down decks, I'm just sayin don't hate the Beatdown deck cuz without it none of you could make any of these other decks. Now, I think that the original hatred of Beat-Down decks comes from the idiots who literally take 3 mins to put together one, just ignore them, pummel them with you awesome "Anti-Beat Down deck", but give some credit to the ones who are seriously trying. In a year or two when their are 4x's as many cards just think of the different decks people will make. Even if this gets posted, it probaly won't change many of your minds but, maybe it will make you think twice before you critisize the Beatdown decks.
