As someone who has played this game since 2002, and been doing cardistry and card magic since 1995 I have a few things to say here. 1st what you, and most players tbh, keep calling shuffling where you pull out a chunk and move it somewhere else in the pile is actually called a cut. Now let me be completely clear here, cutting does not change the order of the deck AT ALL. This is due to the circular deck principle which is the fact that a deck of cards is like an unbroken circle, when you cut the deck and complete the cut, you rejoin the circle but the order of the cards save the 2 cards you separated remains exactly the same. This is the basis for no kidding thousands of magic tricks. The only was to randomize a deck is to riffle and as a point of fact mathematician persi diaconis has stated it takes 12 riffles to randomize a deck completely.

When you consider a bridal grip riffle takes maybe 3 seconds to split, riffle, and square your only looking at a little over 30 seconds to fully randomize a deck.

Weird? No, you just have the heart of the Duelist. Never cheat, just test yourself, and perfect your technique. Even if you lose and perform your combo correctly because you not only created a consistent deck, but also piloted it masterfully, you can still have the satisfaction of knowing you are a master duelist. But win with honor, so that means if your opponent is cheating, give them what they deserve. You can either lower yourself to their standards, call them out, or crush them no matter what fixed hands they get. It's very tricky to pilot a deck perfectly, often times you will have to gamble on a decision that could backfire if you are unlucky, but that's another factor that makes duels fun and interesting!

Ever since the start of lockdown, i have started learning slight of hand magic and it did actually occur to me that you could use simmilar technuiqes in yugioh (not that I ever would or habe practiced with the different card size). One thing I would say is that it is really hard to tell sometimes if somone is forcing cards unless you know exactly where to look for (there are many techniques which would have been more efficient than those which were shown in this video). Then you have issues in terms of second or bottom dealing (practically invisible on borderless card sleeves over a mat the same colour) and it becomes easy to fix your hand. I would personally say that the best way of shuffling your opponents deck is to random pile it in an odd number (they tend to do this in the world champs if I'm not mistaken). Even if your opponent reshuffles cards after this, you can't force cards into positions if you don't know where they are at the start (another reason to check that sleeves are identical).
@johnnywu87084 жыл бұрын
I noticed riffles were just putting a card in between each card from the other pile, so I'd often mix it up with those "fake" partial riffles, where you riffle shuffle only a portion of the deck. That way, you create more chunks in the deck. It helps randomize your own deck when you mix things with other methods of shuffling and cutting. This is especially useful when you like to sort out your cards every once in a while. Since you normally sort cards in one order most of the time, if you do the same usual riffle shuffle x amount of times each game to the same ordered deck, you're likely to have a repeat of the same game. each time you sort your cards. That's why I like to do different shuffles as I go along without a set routine each time.
@joepiazza37564 жыл бұрын
Also, this usually happens in-game but pay attention to searches. Sometimes people will pull some cards out when they search and think then put them back tot he top or bottom and shuffle to stack the deck. Suddenly they top draw their card or they keep their garnet on the bottom or they keep a combo piece away from a card like Pot of Desires that would banish it. Anytime they pull a card out you need to watch their shuffle to see their intentions and always shuffle yourself regardless. Same thing when people are siding. They can stack all the garnets, fake waterfall or something to put them all on top and then they will be cut away from the top 5 and boom, no drawing a Garnet, likely even off a desires or something.

I can only imagine how many duels you lost to stacking. "This must be done at the start of every Duel, and after searching a card from it." There are certain liberties I take, because we search 30x a duel, I actually only ask the opponent shuffle BEFORE they draw (which would include ending their turn since they probably won't search on my turn and their next action from their deck is drawing on their turn). Shuffling properly would take up 10 minutes after every search against a combo deck, forcing you into time. However, every time you do shuffle, it is mandatory the opponent gets the final shuffle/cut. Mid duel I cut in thirds since stacking is mainly done at the start.

So often I see people cut their opponent's deck and call it good, and it drives me crazy. Just take an extra 20 seconds and waterfall shuffle on your own. It's best to assume your opponent handed you a completely undrandomized deck.

Does anybody know if it's allowed to call a judge when you see your opponent fake shuffling?

Scattenspieler cheats against you on remote duel.... when I watched that video I had noticed that his shuffle on the second duel was a bit weird, I go back and if you look carefully he cheated to keep the side evenly distributed. he piles shuffled and cut only...

It was for fun, some people don't even know the pattern because this is what they were taught to do, so I don't blame anyone except for a lack of info.

Im just still salty about that one altergeist player that searched his deck with spoofing during my end phase then didn't let me cut(he didn't ask for cut and just automatically drew for turn) and then he topdecked extrav he had he legit would of lost( I mean it's locals but come on)

The moment he put down his deck just take it and shuffle it. If he says you cant call a judge. Things you will learn from situations like that

Hm. Iv never noticed but thinking back yo tournament it makes sense that i did always brick against the same people that shuffled using a couple of those methods. Thanks for the video

This is why I always riffle/mash shuffle my opponents/my deck. Don't want to get stacked.

is the “double nickle” in anyway a cheat? If it is not im gonna try to do it every time... Most valuable lesson I learned since I got back to ygo.
@MSTTV4 жыл бұрын
It is Not a cheat IF you randomize afterwards. Give it a couple of riffles and cuts and u are good. DO NOT pass the deck after double Nickel without shuffling further.

the first exaample of double nickel is not a proper double nickle a true double nickel is doing 5 piles and pile shuffling the picking them all up and doing it again (hence double nickle ) what this does is it puts the deck back the way it was when you started piling shuffling just stacking the top 5 the way you wanted

And this is why you take someones deck and spread it out over half the table and then properly shuffle it together
