It's more amusing to me when someone shuffles my deck....There's a player at my league who does this, and it seems a bit ridiculous most of the time considering:
A) I run the league, I have more to lose than anyone if I stacked my deck
B) I don't have to stack my deck to win
C) What do you accomplish with a shuffle over a cut? My deck is randomized after both, so why waste both of our time.
The ONLY time I can see shuffling your opponents deck are when they literally do 1-2 mash shuffles which is insufficient. If you just watch me shuffle for 20-30 seconds, don't take another 15-25 to shuffle them again. I WILL cut it and continue my turn.
The best remedy to an opponent shuffling your deck is shuffle theirs EVERY time and keep a prize lead. They'll cut it out when they see they are going to lose on time because they're more concerned with shuffling your deck.
As the 'guy who always shuffles', I'll say that I always shuffle EVERYONE'S deck , not just yours.It has nothing to do with 'time'. It is a habit of tcg playing that should be ingrained into everyones play habits, as it is a PART OF THE RULES and SHOULD BE part of the rules. If time is an issue, then the time restrictions should be rigidly enforced. I shuffle my opponents deck like 2 or 3 times and I am positive it only takes about ten seconds to do. Otherwise we all need to lobby the sanctioning body to exend match rounds back to 40-45 minutes like it was before. This would allow for people to actually have the time to play the game ,with the rules we have, in a proper fashion.
