Anti-beatdown strategy most beat down decks are magic-heavy so i devised a strategy that some older players may already know. if you are new to the game, beatdown decks are a favorite because they are easy to make and are very efficient killers. in response you play a combination of two trap cards (continuous) called the eye of truth and bad reaction to simochi. the eye of truth is widely unplayed because it gives your opponent 1000 lp if there is a magic card in their hand when you see their hand, but here is the loophole...just add in a bad reaction to simochi and you have a killer combination because bad reaction to simotchi causes the life point gain to reverse and become 1000 lp loss if your opponent draws a magic card. so there you have it, you can use or it or call it garbage it's just an idea to weaken beatdown decks.
