Between rounds I separate the lands/spells/creatures
Then mix the spells creatures than with mana 2/1 and then shuffle, at least its somewhat more reliable

Not allowed?  Really? I do this all the time, well, 1 land, 2 non-land.  Followed by some very thorough shuffling.

Yeah I don't know maybe because the round started oh well.

I just won 2:0

Making me 3/2 overall I just need to win my next 2

Alright final standings
4/3
Not amazing but I may make top 16 because two of my tiebreakers were seated 1&2 for the final match, I was seated 30th but then I went 2/0

That kind of shuffling is considered as stacking. It can get you DQ'ed in tournements.

Yeah that's why I didn't, unless between rounds followed by thorough shuffling

Guys it doesn't matter where you put what, after 7 complete shuffles (yes that includes some form of bridge shuffle). The math states that your cards can not be any more randomized then what they currently are.

This is true for a 52 card deck, so if you have a bigger deck, add another shuffle or 2.

It really doesn't matter what you do your opponent can shuffle you deck a million times if they want.

I didn't think it could get you  dqed I thought it was just frowned upon like other people shuffling your deck

Man people were getting dq'd like crazy and dudes were being crazy rule sharks.

Saw several people get round losses because of double faces cards barely outlined on sleeves

And some for cards facing opposite directions

Man, I would really hope judges aren't letting players try to pull rules crap just to get their opponent dq'ed. I'm a rules stickler, but not to gain advantage.

I was wrong I looked it up you have to use your deck in game one then you can sideboard. If somehow you get dqed for game one without playing you cannot sideboard for game two. Me personally I find it quite silly you cannot prep for your next match. I guess that's why I don't play this format because I cannot deal with the rule 8!t€h where this win is their champion on the world.
