I just started playing and I was wondering what are the main deck types that I hear of al the time? Like chaos, stall and some others I don't remember...

Burn, Monster Subtype eg. Warrior, Monster type eg. Fire, Beatdown, Exodia, Hand/ Deck Control, Hand/ Deck Depletion (in other words deck thinning), Specialty - specific [Archfiend, Gravekeeper, Amazoness], Magical Scientist [Direct Damage](but this is banned now.) That's all i can think of for now...

Sorry, I ment to ask what do they do not what they are.
I know ofcourse what are decks based on monster types and subtypes but what for example is a beatdown deck based on?

A Beatdown deck is based on heavy hitting monsters that hammer away at your opponents lifepoints till you win. Cards like Beserk Gorilla and Goblin Attack Force are usually used in abundance. Mainly you'd be looking for monsters with high attacks, good effects to clear a path to the life points, spells with monster removal power and traps, well the usual such as Mirror Force etc.

Chaos decks (the cookie cutter version, not the real one) are one of the most popular. Theyre based on Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning. They consist of equal numbers of light and dark monsters to serve as summoning fodder for BLSEOTB. Very powerful cards are used here, DD Assailants, DD Warrior Lady, Sinister Serpent, Tribe Infecting Virus.

Stall decks: various versions. A friend of mine has one that has 3 Wave Motion Cannons and lots of high defence monsters. Basicly, set Wave Motion, protect yourself for eight turns and bang, game over!

Deck out: based on making your opponent run out of cards, as the name suggests. You yourself must have 50+ cards to ensure this works. Makes use of Needle Worm and Morphing Jar cards, but thats nearly all the monsters. These decks are super magic and trap heavy.

I hope that helps a bit, if theres any other deck you want more info on pm me!

Burn:

Burn decks are specifically for "burning" your opponent.
Doing direct damage to your opponents deck with cards such as Lava Golem, Poison Of The Old Man, Wave-Motion Cannon, etc.
Level Limit Area-B, Gravity Bind, and Messanger Of Peace make this deck what a true burn deck is suppose to be helping you stall while you do doing direct damage to your opponent.

Hand Disruption

Hand Disruption decks are based on withdrawing all cards from your opponents hand to the graveyard. Working all together in this kind of deck were your opponent does not have any cards in their hand left to even play.
This deck works good around Don Zaloog, Drop Off, Time Seal, etc.

Control:

Control decks are based around "controling" your opponent. Using cards that rid of your opponents monster, spells, traps. Withdrawing cards from your opponent's hand/deck, taking control of your opponents monsters, etc.

Note: There are all kinds of types of decks that you can use.

There is not just Beatdown there could be Dragon Beatdown, Machine Beatdown, etc.

There is not just Control there is Field Control, Hand Control, etc.

I think you get the point.

Thanks thgl87 and yugfreak90 you guys really helped me out :)
I'm going to try out deck destruction.

beatdown- u overwhelm ur opponent with major attacks and powerful effects
hand control- u make him have no cards in his hand so he has less cards to play...
stall- exodia, final, lava golem. u have cards like gravity bind to stall until u get what u need...
