Title: Control+Aggro?
Post by: Gideons left foot on November 16, 2012, 08:39:42 PM
Is there a name for a deck that is both controlling and aggresive?

Aggro control. It's a hybrid type. I'd say mostly every deck in Standard Format is Aggro Control. The game designers (Like Mark Rosewater and Zac Hill) are on the record stating that the notion of Aggro -> Control -> Combo isn't true, and really never has been.

Fish is an example of aggro control.
