Stacking. It lets me get the most out of my Deck because it increases the odds of getting key cards and combos am I right?

[BulletMonkey]

lol thats ilegal and u know that. i mean do u pile shuffle, de-clump, or just poker shuffle, ect. this is because some decks will benifit from drawing multiples of them (ie blackwings with whirlwind) so your unlikely to do a method of shuffling witch will decrease the chance of that happening. while in cat synchro for example drawing multiple cat targets can lose u the game, so de-clumping is in order so that its harder to draw doubles of a card.

Wrong. Opponent gets last touch of your deck if they're smart so it's best to stack your opponent's deck.

im realy suprised how much this actually goes on. this can be prevented because you can shuffle and cut your own deck once your opp has shuffled your deck, then pass it back to your opponent, where they can then only cut i believe, or if they think ur cheating call over a judge.

I do a 5 pile shuffle at the beginning of the match and then depending on how many cards actually enter the game(Removed from the deck) either do it again or just poker shuffle.

[PikaPerson01]

If I see someone "power shuffle" in front of me, I tell them I'm going to count their deck, and proceed to "unpower shuffle" it, while counting out loud. Then I do a quick and lazy shuffle an hand it back. Usually enough to screw over anyone who tries to make they're deck have more consistent numbers.

You shuffle your deck first.
The opponent can shuffle yours if they want to.
If they chose to shuffle you can cut the deck.
If you do that then your opponent can get final cut in a different place from where you cut.

I shuffle in a way my cards are not damaged.

[DesCrow]

Baby Stacking
put good combo cards together, do chunk shuffling
still fair, but gives you slight advantage

[LarryCotter]

Throw your deck in the air.
Wheee.

I just do this:

Put he first card on 0, then the second on one, the third on 2 and so on...
0 8 2 6 4
9 1 7 3 5

Then I put 0 on 9, 8 on 1,...
And the I randomly place the 5 heaps on top of each other before just powershuffling again.

[shadowferret]

I just.... do the poker shuffle. Nothing fancy. >_>

Though I do a simply shuffle to the opponent's deck. Similar to the poker shuffle, but I make sure to be careful so I don't damage their cards.

I never cut. 0.o

[Dark_Armed_Zombie]

I'm almost certain that if your opponent shuffles your deck, you must cut it and then so must your opponent, it was in one of Jesus' many threads about lesser known stuff.

[X-L]

Eh, we need an expert thread on shuffling, I mean a new one, cause I remember the old other one, but we need a new one with all the different techniques so that people testing new decks can get the right results out of them for the best. I still don't know how to shuffle Skill Town.

[Akira]

Pile Shuffle between most duels.

[GenzoTheHarpist]

I just shuffle normally and pile shuffle every couple duels to avoid clumping.

[Dark_Armed_Zombie]

I don't know what half of the shuffles you guys are talking about. De-clump shuffle? Pile Shuffle? I know Poker shuffle, but that's it.

Edit: Pile shuffle is the one I'm most lost on...
