ngl i was faded lmao

@BliX_X_a @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek Yes, but if the opponent has either been not cutting (which please never do) or just cutting in half, you can manipulate the top deck to essentially never get prized. Thinking about doing a cheating 101 thread if people are interested on what to look out for

@WillWagnerTCG @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek not much in the Pokemon scene, but does the opponent not have the finally cut/schuffle anyways?

Not gonna like I feel so bad for @NeddyKosek 💔

I know we're all thinking it

@a_distrito @jbirdo2025 @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek It’s not about outcome, it’s about intention. Mind you this is ON STREAM what are you all missing here?

@jbirdo2025 @WillWagnerTCG @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek I mean the opponent CAN cut if they ain't satisfy with the shuffle. Also cheating means you supposed to have an advantage but why does 2 creepy unfair stamp prized on top of Meowth start is an advantage?

@jbirdo2025 @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek It’s actually insane. I don’t know why. Either naive or they are his homies.

@WillWagnerTCG @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek I love how people are defending this shuffle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@TrainerJose1000 If you know what the top cards are you don’t need to look. You could pick up your trash and slap it on top before beginning to do this.

@WillWagnerTCG Of course that is true im just not seeing it. His eyes dont even glance at the deck for a moment during the whole shuffle

Me when I stack my deck to force meowth open and double dreepy prized yep Neddy totally cheating here

@fadedjerry321 @85dakota85 @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek Intention doesn’t equal a positive outcome

@WillWagnerTCG @85dakota85 @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek Opened Meowth, prized 2 Dreepy, Unfair Stamp and his one of Munkidori. I’m sure he meant to do that.

@verdantstorm Intention doesn’t always lead to a positive outcome, but you are gaining percentage points throughout a tournament by trying to keep cards on top or bottom

Let me stack my deck so I prize Stamp, Double Dreepy and start Meowth in a matchup I am comfortable in WHILST also (effectively) forfeiting 15k USD

@anshkansara You could argue the semantics but what I was intending to say is he was not shuffling the top of his deck into the rest. I would argue he’s not really even shuffling the top cards well as we see the same card 2-3 times in a row on the bottom of the top stack

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this, and I want to have a discussion about shuffling in general. To be clear: I don't think Neddy cheated. In fact, he is actually ONLY shuffling the top of his deck , contrary to what the OP claimed, and he also did "proper" mash shuffles after this clip. I believe he sufficiently randomized his deck. However, neither mashing not riffling truly randomize the deck, as cards near the top stay near the top and same for the bottom. This is also likely why PTCG "randomization" and physical "randomization" feel different. There's also the factor of how many/which holographic cards you play, which warp differently and have a tendency to be "picked up" more when you're grabbing half your deck to start shuffling. What's the actual "best" way to shuffle to get the cards as close to actually random as possible? Intuitively, I find pile counting (not calling it shuffling so @AzulGG doesn't yell at me) before mashing to be the most effective as you're first evenly distributing clumped cards before randomizing them, as opposed to just mashing which can still leave clumped cards near each other as I mentioned above. I always do a pile count after each game and after my deck is sorted (deck checks, etc.) and I've found I've had fewer games where I "brick". This could be purely psychological, as I haven't actually sat down and tested which is more effective. What have you all found to be the best way to randomize decks?

When an Earthnoid says something so gravity-bound you gotta hit them with that Newtype stare.

@Jakibib @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek So we’re coping now, sick

@WillWagnerTCG @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek Engagement baiting/trolling isn't gonna get you where you think it will, and definitely not with your government name as your handle

@Jakibib @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek Sure but at least I don’t cheat 😌

@WillWagnerTCG @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek You don't even have a limitless page who tf is u

Super questionable shuffling on stream for the NAIC finals

@85dakota85 @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek I’m mean he’s literally cheating lol

@WillWagnerTCG @2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek This shuffle is fine, you're a bozo

@2666Lapras @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek Clearly not even shuffling the top of his deck at all

@WillWagnerTCG @Gholdaddy @NeddyKosek ???

Your bars were not the correct size relative to one another totally by accident so I fixed them for you.

So long Crustle and thanks for the good times, you were delicious
