7:03 The goal is actually to _not_ have every other card fit perfectly. If you do, the deck isn't actually being randomized at all, it gets predictably re-ordered. Riffle shuffling is an efficient way of shuffling because it has a high potential for human error- the source of randomness.
If mashing you should make an effort to hold the deck more horizontally than vertically. This removes the possibility of looking at the cards in your deck as you shuffle. If you expect your opponent might be looking at their bottom card then you should call a judge/professor
Riffle* also I don't understand why so many people cry about riffle shuffling it's one of the quickest and most effective ways to randomize your deck. It's always the players with budget decks that whine about it
@@gallowshumor1784 clearly you haven't had some ape bend and damage your cards. Weather or not someone has a budget deck or not is irrelevant. If someone doesn't want you to riffle shuffle their deck then dont :). If someone riffle shuffled my deck after I asked them not to I would be furious.
What do you mean I don't have to do the bridge?! That's the best part! It's like saying you don't have to eat the cone to someone eating cone ice cream. 😢
I love riffle and fero shuffling with regular playing cards, but it's absoluetly crazy to me to do with trading cards no matter their cost as the chance to mess it up is just too high. Hindu and mash is the way to go in my opinion.
I’m not sure why I can’t riffle shuffle tcg cards. Maybe my hands aren’t big enough or having some cards double sleeved makes it feel too stiff to bend and blend a riffle 😢
This video helped me out ! I play online and am getting Into playing with actual cards. What deck box would you recommend? I single sleeved my cards with katana sleeves and scooped a deck box that holds 80 cards. I'm not a fan of the extra room lol
2 Gardes, 2 Turbos, doesn’t seems that good anyway, how many riffle shuffle needs to do, thats enables the top card and bottom card get together? Probably to many to count , so how is fully randomize if the bottom and top card never are going to ve together. Is more like mixing the cards that are in the same level
Wait, i’ve been riffle shuffling on the table with my thumbs on the bottom of the cards😮 Is that ok? I tried doing it like in the vid but it feels really uncomfortable and the cards keep slipping every which way, though that might just be because i’m not used to it. As far as i can see the way i do it doesn’t bend the cards too much?
his cards look like they bend so easily, I have a basically new deck and I feel like the stiffness of my deck is making it harder for the cards to slot in, wbu
I saw the other comment, is your opponent allowed to riffle shuffle/ Bridge shuffle your deck? Like obviously you're playing the game to play like you said! Haha.
Yeah, I suggest not bridging your opponents deck because you can slip and bend a card even if you’re good at shuffling. But riffling with care is fine.
you can ask them nicely not to, but you can't prevent them. your opponent has every right to shuffle your deck in a way that sufficiently randomizes it. if you have an issue with this you shouldn't be playing in tournaments, or should use lower rarity cards
The way I like to shuffle is that I’ll pile shuffle, not really following any particular pattern in assigning piles, then mash piles together until there are two, which I’ll riffle once, and mash until my opponent feels it’s been comfortably long, and offer a cut.
Hey Celio's Network. I'm new to PTCG and your videos are helping a ton. I've been running into a lot of Urishfu single strike lately. I have been using a Zacian V pair with a Galarian Rapidash V to gain physic energies on the Rapidash. It's been destroying Urshifu decks. Any thoughts?
Dragon shield are the best I usually double sleeve mine first I put the card in a perfect fit and then the regular sleeve I know people who triple sleeve their cards but it makes the too bulky for my hands to properly shuffle cards
I’ve always Hindu shuffled. Never had a problem even at Pokémon nats. If I have cards worth like $30-40+, I don’t want them curved or damaged. Never had an opponent Or judge say anything, even when I had a judge next to me watching me play at top table/finals.
@@BrandoMan I usually do 10-20 seconds of Shuffling, and I’ve gotten pretty fast at it. I do it with my thumb to the bottom for random amounts and then finish with Hindu.
Please delete this we dont need any more rifflers in pokemon. Its fine if you do it to your cards but most players dont care and riffle their opponents deck without asking. While its true good rifflers can minimize the risk of damaging cards the risk is still WAY higher that any other shuffling style and its not any faster or more random than mashing properly. Pokemon is the only tcg where i consistently see people recommend riffling and it really sucks for people that want to save money and sell cards after playing or dont want to buy extra copies for collecting. Tldr if you want to learn to shuffle properly please dont waste time on riffle shuffle and if you do because it "looks cool" respect other peoples property
@@asiyt_ In my experience, none of my cards were ruined because of riffle shuffle. It's efficient to follow the 7 riffle shuffles because it randomize the deck.
@@cheryltejano9129 Yes but the risk is way higher that any other type of shuffling since you are continuously bending cards and many rifflers do it way more casually and over bend. Just search cards with riffle marks and then try to find any other card damaged by playing and you will see why its stupid. And its literally the same as mashing 7 times with extra steps
The point the video was trying to make by showing the condition of the cards was that riffle shuffles do not scratch the artwork, nor excessively bend or crease the cards while it's being done gently. Many people care about the condition of the cards, so they are naturally concerned with how shuffling techniques may affect their cards.

Why would you have someone else shuffle your deck?

I mean it also depends on which Sleeves are in use for good shuffling and protection.

Hindu is definitely safest for your cards but it doesn't randomize your deck at all.
This guy has a spot on perfect Mama Named Me Sheriff voice! Love it!
In BO3 of my opponent pile shuffles, the no randomization might actually work in my favor for them brickingA
I’m not sure why I can’t riffle shuffle tcg cards. Maybe my hands aren’t big enough or having some cards double sleeved makes it feel too stiff to bend and blend a riffle 😢
they are significantly more stiff than say poker cards

"Hold up letme use my ultra ball"
Thanks for the video! I'm a master at shuffling now. :D (ok, I still need some practice, but I actually learned a lot)
When i overhand shuffle the corner of my dragon shield sleeves ding up after like 1 overhand. Any help?

also have dragon shields

This kind of shuffling can damage the cards certainly..
I'd consider it pretty rude.

What is the best sleeve to shuffle this way?
Probably Dragon Shield

Do you double sleeve?

Lol he literally said that dont play FA's Alt Arts etc. This is a trading card game expect others to shuffle it that way because it's efficient.

Bro all my sleeves just teared how do I do it without being a total mong
You just bent 100 cards worth more then 10 dollars atleast
Oh no whatever will I do
