How do you shuffle your deck?
« on: December 09, 2009, 09:23:57 AM »
Okay, how does everyone shuffle their LOTR TCG decks? The infamous poker shuffle? The semi-infamous pile shuffle? The multiple cut sideways shuffle? My favourite, the grid shuffle? Or some other way? And what have you found best?

I have all my deck in cheap card sleeves that allow me to grind shuffle with no damage :D
No one loves you like I do.

I'm imploring people I've never met to pressure a government with better things to do to punish a man who meant no harm for something nobody even saw, thats what I'm doing!

I use grid shuffle, lay top cards of you deck in a 4 by 4 grid, then place cards from the top or bottom of your deck randomly on top of those. When you run out of cards, start stacking one pile on top of the other until you are left with one. Repeat if you wish :)

I usually wait until I have 2 stacks, then poker shuffle. And I usually preface and end my shuffling with the sideways cut. Holding the deck long edge towards your face, cut the back or front of the deck into the front, middle, or back of the deck as much as you want.

I'm pretty thorough with my shuffling, aren't I?

Thorough doesn't seem like the right word. Superstitious is getting closer.

Well, I like having my cards evenly dispersed. I've found that to be the most time effective and effective strategy yet. But yeah, maybe I do have a problem :(

As for Control S, I wish I had that IRL...

COOL!

Do you know if you can find a link to that study?
