Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* "Suicide Blood" -- Initially coined for Bloodcraft decks focused on self-damage to get themselves to Vengeance as soon as possible, the term has mutated to encompass Darkfeast Bat OTK decks due to its synergy with self-damage. A joke variant of this deck takes the self-damaging quirk UpToEleven to the point where it is likely to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin commit suicide]] rather than go anywhere fruitful. This variant was used by many to quickly help other players with the "Private Match victory without conceding" missions for a quick sum of rupies.

* "Wallet deck" -- Describing a deck stocked with many legendaries, thus requiring an obscene number of vials (or packs opened) to obtain the cards to assemble it.

* Any of the _____verse names:
** "Waifuverse" -- A common nickname for Shadowverse in general, based from the _____verse FanNickname which has also reached MemeticMutation in the game's player communities. This is coined by the players who know the game more for the {{Fanservice}}-filled artworks than the complex mechanics as well as the second anniversary poll winners consisting of female characters.
** "Aggroverse" -- Another nickname for Shadowverse when the meta is very favored towards aggro decks. This is especially true in the Unlimited format than in Rotation where aggro decks are incredibly prevalent due to the dominance of powerful combo decks like OTK Roach and Dimension Shift that decimate control decks, hence players responding to combo decks with aggro decks to counter them.
** "Firstverse" -- Another nickname when a meta is very favored towards the player going first or when a class or playstyle is heavily dependent on going first (such as Swordcraft [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Swordcraft is a follower heavy class, going 2nd puts Swordcraft in a significant disadvantage, especially for aggro centric decks or in midrange mirrors[[/labelnote]] and many aggro decks).
* "Ding Dong" -- [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101021010 Bellringer Angel's]] summon line, which has become iconic of the game.
* "Dork" -- Given to [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101441020 Dark Dragoon Forte]] ever since the rise of Dragoncraft's winrates starting ''Tempest of the Gods''.

Draws parallels from Miracle Rogue in Hearthstone due to how it executes one turn kills, even from a full 20 defense.
* "JO Dragon" -- A Dragoncraft deck focused on using [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103412020 Dragonclaw Pendant]] to amplify the damage of all its spells, without using any followers (except Servants of Darkness created by one of the spells or Grimnir). Named so in reference to [[http://imgur.com/VQkyUG1 an old meme involving a similar-looking crystal]].
* "Satan" -- The name of [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101041030 Prince of Darkness]] in the Japanese release. (It was Satan in the original English release until they decided to rename it to Prince of Darkness.)
* "Atomeme"/"Atometa" -- For [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101541020 Lord Atomy]], due to his LethalJokeCharacter status. ''Starforged Legends'' adding tools to greatly improve the Atomy deck instead gave rise to the second nickname, especially when such a deck placed well in a tournament.
* "Albertcraft" -- A particular type of Swordcraft deck where its only Commander is [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103241010 Albert, Levin Saber]], in order for [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101221010 Maid Leader]] to consistently fetch him. Its dominance in the late ''Rise of Bahamut'' format temporarily had the nickname applied to Swordcraft as a whole.
* "Wallet deck" -- Describing a deck stocked with many legendaries, thus requiring an obscene number of vials (or packs opened) to obtain the cards to assemble it. Formerly attributed to control Swordcraft due to the reliance on the likes of Albert and Aurelia, but now more apparent in Dragoncraft due to the high-impact Dragon and Neutral legendaries enabled by its play point accumulation.
* "Seventeen-year-old" -- Eris, due to her [[Creator/KikukoInoue Japanese voice actress]].
* "Suicide Blood" -- Vengeance-based Bloodcraft decks designed to put themselves in Vengeance quickly by doing self-damage. A joke variant of this deck takes the self-damaging quirk UpToEleven by squeezing in self-damage to the point where it is likely to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin commit suicide]] as opposed to make effective Vengeance plays. This variant was used by many to quickly help other players with the "Private Match victory without conceding" missions for a quick sum of rupies.
* "Pepe the Frog" -- Used to describe a Swordcraft officer, [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104211040 Vagabond Frog]], which is infamous for going into Ambush at the end of the player's turn. There is a deck focused around summoning it and stacking buffs on it -- it's not a consistent deck, but ''infuriating'' to lose to, earning infamy as a "troll" deck.
* "Puck" -- Given to [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105141020 Fairy Dragon]] thanks to [[VideoGame/Dota2 a certain other Faerie Dragon]]
* "Disco Derg" -- Derogatory name given to the Discard Dragon archetype because of its inefficiency ever since its inception.
* "Neutralcraft" -- Not an official name. Used to describe a deck that either consists mostly of neutral cards, is ''entirely'' neutral cards, or has its most impactful plays involve neutral cards. Formerly attributed to Dragoncraft since their play point accumulation allowed for efficient use of strong but costly neutral legendary cards, but now can be attributed to nearly any deck utilizing neutral synergy from ''Wonderland Dreams''.
* "[=CoCK=]" -- An unfortunate abbreviation for [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105234010 Council of Card Knights]].
* "Spellboobs" -- A nickname given to most Spellboost-based Runecraft decks (typically D-Shift), because of Isabelle's MostCommonSuperpower.
* "Jojophant" -- A nickname given to [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/106141020 King Elephant]] due to it's resemblance to the [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Pillar Men]] as well as looking like it does a [=JoJo=] pose.
* The [[FanNickname/GranblueFantasy fan nicknames and abbreviations of characters from ''Granblue Fantasy'']] may also apply in this game due to ReusedCharacterDesign and that a portion of the ''Shadowverse'' community might have already been familiar with them from ''Granblue''. Such examples include the following:

** "Cag" -- A nickname for Cagliostro, taken from the first phonetic / syllable of her name
