I don't understand what these hubs are, can you guys explain?
-Birthing pod
-Blink
-Caw Blade
-Bant Conscription
-Delver
-Forcefeed
-Group Hug
-Group Slug
-Heartless summoning
-Proliferate
-Rock
-Solar Flare
-Super Friends
-Team America
-Tempered steel
-Toolbox
-Treehouse
-Tron
-Zoo
Here's a bunch I know off the top of my head. You could probably just, you know, look at the decks which are in that hub and figure out pretty quickly what is going on. I mean, "Proliferate" is a mechanic, "Blink" is a mechanic, a lot of these are just the name of particular cards (Delver, Heartless Summoning)
-Birthing pod - uses Birthing Pod to chain up into powerful creatures quickly, especially ones with strong enter/exit the battlefield abilities
-Caw Blade - uses Squadron Hawk as a way to get creatures with evasion out quickly to equip with powerful equipment like Batterskull via the tutoring abilities of Stoneforge Mystic
-Delver - Delver of Secrets Flip
-Group Hug - A type of deck usually in EDH, that focuses on staying alive by helping everybody at the table, and doing generally beneficial things
-Heartless summoning - Heartless Summoning
-Super Friends - Any deck that is primarily characterized by being full of planeswalkers and using their abilties.
-Team America - R/W/U
-Tron - Decks which use the Urza's lands (Mine/Tower/Powerplant) to ramp into large creatures, often Eldrazi
-Zoo - Aggro decks characterized by using extremely efficient creatures like Wild Nacatl

They are all just different archetypes of deck.
