Rush Deck and Aggro Deck

Lately I have been trying to educate myself in regards to the terminology of Hearthstone. Which leads me to my wish, to try out different types of decks.

But on thing that I dont get, is the difference between Aggro Decks and Rush Decks.

What is the core differences between an Aggro deck and a Rush deck?

Is there any difference at all?

Notes: Great explanation of Aggro deck: What does the term "aggro deck" mean?

Best Answer

I'm going to disagree with scenia here. I think that the terminology "rush deck" is just used interchangeably with "aggro deck". While there are fast combo decks (like the degenerate alarmobot+innervate combo deck), the hearthstone community is not typically referring to those as rush decks, from what I can see on the forums and on sites covering hearthstone. Rather, rush deck is just being used to mean "aggro deck". For example, Ten Ton Hammer's guide to rush decks is just a guide to aggro decks. On the other hand, I don't see players describing fast combo decks as a "rush" strategy, but rather defining them by the two combo pieces. For example innervate/alarm-o-bot, or a specific name.
