Here I am with yet another question guys: how do you shuffle your decks? Do you do the straight bridge shuffle or turn the deck sideways and sift sections into it? I'm a bit OCD myself, and I like to deal the cards from my right to left hand, placing one card on top of the new deck, then one on bottom, and alternating until I'm done. It should also be taken into consideration whether or not you have sleeves for your cards (I don't)
Lmafo reference I bridge then pass right to left and side shuffle
I mix it up in a couple of different ways. I use sleeves, so I find it easy to cut the deck in half, and then slide the two halves together, edge to edge. If you keep a loose grip, they'll fall together nicely.
Sometimes, I'll deal the deck out randomly into 5 piles, then stack them. Finally, if the deck is small enough, I'll do the typical "hand toss" shuffle. I don't know the real name for it, but you take the deck in one hand and throw small sections into the other hand.
On an aside: is it just me, or does it drive other people nuts when you offer your deck to an opponent to cut and they pick it up and shuffle it? ðŸ'¿ I hate it! Its like calling me a cheat to my face.

I've done that but it was just my way of cutting the deck

I agree it's called a cut not a reshuffle. IMO if they want to do that tell me before so I don't have to shuffle myself. But what really annoyed me was when in a draft the other person shuffled the deck just to look at the cards my nephew was using.
They looked at the cards in your deck while Shuffling it? Was this at a sanctioned event? (official draft)
I always pile shuffle. But that's just me.

Yea it was. Wasn't me it happened to, it was my nephew. I told him if it happens again tell the kid to put your deck down and stop. Tell the moderator.

No kidding! That a major no-no! He could be disqualified, or at least get a warning.
That's not a warning that's a dq
Yea I didn't hear about it until we were riding home. /sarcasm on: grata to a 20 something taking advantage of a 12 year old.
Who one the 12 year old right
I cut in half and slide together.
