Hazy deck with Beatdown skill is pretty sweet. The monsters are all 6* and you can summon two or three of them in a single turn for +600 or +900 attack. This tips the hazy manticore over 3000 for killing Blue Eyes more reliably than Beast Rising. A nice field spell like sorcerers spell wall helps too.
I prefer Beast Rising over Beatdown skill. Beast rising can give you a free room for summon more monster and stacking up atk for OTK. Beatdown is fascinating but you will most likely locked when you against stall/burn deck that runs 2/3 WoD and some annoying stall card
Beast Rising AND Beatdown though. Use the pteryon (spelling?) to summon a cerburus and a sphinx, combine with flame tiger/caninasaur. No guaranteed three-card summon by using the sphinx without aroma but count your cards and the odds are often good
I did happen to play an Aroma vs Beatdown Hazy deck though and I came off better as Mia because Beatdown guy got 🔥 and his attack was absolutely trounced by Reverse Trap. Had he not used Beatdown he would have killed me in one turn so it was a big mistake for him.
Yup. Using Beatdown gives you more downside than Aroma Strategy as you cant see the exact card at the top deck. Also, thining deck using Sphinx + Aroma Strategy gives consistency to draw card you need
