You stole this right from under my feet... I had PM'd Seph and asked if it was okay I made an updated list.

Anyways, I was going to make spoilers that broke them down into alphabetical order (AKA "A-D", "E-H", etc etc). You might want to do that. Makes it look like less of an eyesore.

That's because you pmed you tard.

It looks like sh[s][/s]it, I agree. I'll fix it.

Might as well just look through recent popular decks in the Meta and name off all the abbreviations found. Off the top of my head, I can think of:

Warning, BTH (or however they abbreviate it), FuFu, 7 Tools (or just Tools), and another CED (Compulsory). Also, there's some banned cards on that list still. Dunno if that's okay.

Not exactly all abbreviations, but...
Nexus Dragon/Believe in Nexus, Solid, PSZ, D. Prison, 141, E-Tele, and Noodles (instant fusion). FGD is also used for FHD, and Juju for Jujitsu Master. BW should be put on the list of archetypes along with KM and LSS.
That's all I can think of, and I guess I'll be done for now unless I think of something important.

That list might be longer, but it's even more of an eyesore. I still say we're going to need spoilers and less spacing to make it look more organized and easier to read. If Purple is too lazy to look for the changes between the lists I could do it, though some of the listed cards seem to not be actual COMMON abbreviations.

EDIT: And now that I look at it, the list you had posted actually has less cards on it.
