I find it so odd that you wouldn't add {lightning bolt} to the burn examples.

Lol true, but I mean, it's lightning bolt. Like the epitome of burn. 3 to the dome! FTW! (for the win, just in case)

Death Deck
A deck (usually black) which revolves around insta-kill effect spells like doom blade, tribute to hunger, etc.

My friend use it all the time to describe my deck

BlackJester

Never heard of that one. I'd usually just call that Control.

I guess it could be a subset of control

I didn't see this anywhere on here, so what is midrange?

it's basically all about field/card advantage. All of the cards are essentially x for 1's like {thragtusk} or are recurrable like {rancor} and powerful flashback spells.

Just noticed it has been brought up a few time and is not in here.
Top decking-when a player has no cards in hand is waiting on their  draw step to be able to do something.

Doesn't require no cards in hand. You can top deck an answer, a threat or a game changer.
