As someone who is just now getting into cards with both small hands and being a noob, i truly appreciate this video. I have a tournament on Saturday so i can’t wait to go with me finally having some sort of strategy to shuffle and not look like I’m struggling to hold onto a card lol

[@heatbetter]

Figured i should jump back in and say i ended up getting 2nd! I’m really happy with how much randomization the shuffle got. I got there a little late so i had to shuffle and i really only got to shuffle 3 times and the cards were randomized like if i were to be shuffling the deck all day lol

[@darrylcole3671]

@@heatbettercongratulations on 2nd!!

[@PsychoMantisss]

I have incredibly small hands, like kindergarten children have bigger hands than I do as a full grown woman. I’m also terrible at shuffling cards so this seems way easier.

[@GVS2001]

I was training and timing myself while you shuffle, tysm for this video

[@lightmonarch1]

Great video 🎉🎉🎉 now I'm ready for tournaments

[@skyblue-fp5ul]

to be honest, I do mh mass shuffle exactly like that lol, I thought it was just second nature to everyone XD, I guess nowI know that I was botching my mass shuffles every single time!

[@NaniTCG]

Lol thanks man, quality content! I mean it, I'm terrible at shuffling, always have been ever since I started to play Magic 3 years ago. I don't wanna look like an ass at an official tournament and waste anyone's time just trying to lmao.

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Thank you so much! Hope it helps 😁

[@robinfm2116]

This rly made me start shuffling. I honestly just squeezed a lot of times randomly and got trapped by 3 copys of the same card over and over at draw effects. I honestly feel a "resistance" everytime i shuffle but i guess that comes from me being unexperienced with the shuffle methode so far.

[@GrinningFeline]

This is perfect. I have been shuffling my wife’s deck for her and this is a perfect tutorial! I use the table method when shuffling 100 card decks despite big hands.

[@GrinningFeline]

Although not having two energies next to one another isn’t a great measure of randomness, hahahah

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Of course, it can be very difficult to prove randomness 😅. Thank you for watching!

[@didnthurt4077]

Thanks! The one video i needed on shuffling. That technique is also used in the championships i believe? They do it so fast, but looks similar.

[@raizupsb6185]

This shuffle is lit, thank you!!!

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Glad you liked it!

[@user-zx3uo8le9b]

Thanks for showing us how to shuffle probably 👍👍

[@LeSpearow]

I never knew how to shuffle and I'm testing this with topps sleeves (which arent good for shuffling) but it already felt really good, it works well for me and most likely many other people. Thanks!

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Happy to help!

[@matheusquintino9580]

Really would like to see you guys do a "sequencing" or how to play better sequences during a match, which abilities to use in what order, why make one type of play over the othe cause I feel like that is what is costing me a lot of matches. Thank you and KEEP IT UP!

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

I like that idea a lot, thanks so much for the support!

[@PokeGym]

Hey, Good video. When you mention double sleeve. I presume you mean a clear sleeve then the larger standard protector coloured sleeve?

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

That is correct!

[@Waffleater636]

Thank u so much I started pokimon not even a week ago I made a deck but I keep ruining my sleeves cuz I don't know how to shuffle

[@nighttraveler9993]

Great video, I don't own pokemon cards, just wanted to learn how to take care of my hero realms cards

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

That’s awesome, thank you for watching!

[@scottyschindler7387]

This is one of the better videos I’ve seen on this topic. I do a mix of both the cut and riffle shuffle. All my cards I take to tournaments are for playing not collecting. Most randomized is most optimal. Mash or cut shuffling is in fact not the best way to randomize. Riffle shuffling is always the best.

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Thanks for watching, and we’re glad you enjoyed! A mix of shuffling techniques is definitely ideal!

[@bradleygilmore]

Great video thank you! The cards seem to have resistance when falling down into the deck, any suggestions? I’m not sure how to get that “fan” motion you get, I do slowly let go with my finger but they all just stay in place.

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

We are glad you enjoyed the video! This took a long time to try to say in words and videotape and therefore some of the minor details might be missing. We suggest pinching the bottom side of the sleeves to help them fan out, you’ll want to pinch them with the crease in your left hand (non-dominant hand) this should create small gaps for the cards to fit right in

[@huiuiu]

struggle with the same issue..... found something that worked for you? It needs quite some force to get the cards into each other :/

[@bradleygilmore]

@@huiuiuHonestly no. I found that a new pack of sleeves magically started working. Not sure if the other pack was defective or if I just got better without noticing. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

[@huiuiu]

@@bradleygilmore ah don't worry thanks anyways :)

[@dickerzanti]

this dude shuffles

[@muhammadhabibullah5224]

Hi,do you double sleeve your cards? and does double sleeve make is harder to shuffle?

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Yes, and if you have smaller hands it is more difficult to shuffle double sleeved cards, but you’ll still eventually get used to handling it!

[@implozia1360]

As somebody who is a purely card enthusiast getting into Pokemon, I watched a lot of cartomancy videos and the collections of pro cartomancers (aka card trick people) are FILLED to the BRIM with playing card decks of the same kind/duplicates. Why? They can go through a deck so quickly because of all the damadging shuffles and tricks they do! Not only that but cartomancers do not sleeve cards, they just get their favourite deck of playing cards with the best feel and art, buy hundreds of packs and run with it. Unless they also collect packs of limited edition decks. I never ripple shuffle even my playing cards for regular play.

[@GoOKuSj33]

I hate when my opponent shuffles my deck after I’ve done all that, like my shuffling was not good enough. Can I call a judge if someone riffles my deck?

[@RayCincy]

my question is this, when you interlace them, you're saying to start interlacing them from the top of the mechanics hand, not mashing them into the corners on your left hand right? I've been doing that and it's ruining the corners much faster so this was helpful. will have to change my muscle memory

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Correct! Try to avoid mashing and more a gentle flow from top to bottom pinching the bottom of the lower packet to spread them apart a little bit

[@RayCincy]

@@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming been doing this since i posted and WOW it's so much smoother and gentler on my cards. Even is faster because of it lol thank you!

[@Bakugan2833]

I oversleeve all my decks (so base sleeve and oversleeve) How do I riffle shuffle double or triple sleeved decks? The sleeves are really solid, making it very hard to bend the sleeves to do the riffle shuffle

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

I wouldn’t suggest rifling double or triple sleeved decks, just because it can ruin multiple layers faster. However, if you do, just start out by riffling each half a few times, and then mash all of them together!

[@cesardka]

Oh wow, thanks a lot this helped me so much. Now I can at least not look like a confused 30yo child throwing cards at random and show some confidence when shuffling instead.

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

We’re glad it helped you! Thanks so much for the nice comment!

[@TCG-BOI]

What sleeves are you using or do you use ?

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Most of the time it’s Dragonshield Mattes!

[@anandrewnguyen]

@@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming What color Dragonshield Mattes are these?

[@toughbama]

What sleeves are these? Seems like the sleeves I have are really resistant to each other.

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Dragon Shields they are great!

[@patrickwoolworth1464]

Wouldn’t starting with the corners eventually damage them?

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

It eventually will begin to wear out the corners, but as long as they aren’t catching when you shuffle, they are far less likely to split!

[@MrFLstyle]

What brand of sleeves are those?

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

They are Dragon Shield Dual Mattes if I’m remembering correctly!

[@babyalexander]

I'm struggling at the point where you "let go" and all the cards fall one by one - any pointers?

[@Controlled_Chaos_Gaming]

Alot of the cards calling have to do with the amount of space between the lower cards, if you slightly pinch the bottom packet of cards you will create space for the cards to fall, then slowly move your thumb and pointer finger off of ghe cards in the top packet to have them gently fall, an alternative method would be to gently press the top packet into the bottom packet if you are unable to complete the bottom pinch
