Mill - the strategy of milling (draining a library of cards) when you have to draw and there is nothing left, it's game
Aggro - Agressive, fast hitting decks low mana costing cards
Control - using stall tactics such as making the opponent discard and counter cards and using destroy effects such as {Doomblade} or {Go for the throat}.
Combo - using a combination of cards to win

Mill is when you force your opponent to discard his deck rendering him unable to draw a card and thus causing you to win. I dont know about aggro however. My guess would be like in a multiplayer game the opponent who is at the time the most threatening would gather alot of aggro.

It's a fast red deck that deals with direct damage and cheap hits to win.

Example of red deck wins cards: {Goblin Guide}, {Lightning Bolt}, {Goblin Bushwhacker}

While true, none of these will see standard play today, {Brimstone Volley}, {Shock}, {Shrine of Burning Rage}, and {Stromkirk Noble} are all cards you can expect to see in RDW.
