I am so glad that there are many "leagel" ways to shuffle a deck!
I am so glad you don't know how to spell "legal" correctly!

what's the 'henry prior issue'?This issue is getting out of hand...it will be interesting to see how P!P deals with the Canada issue and the Henry Prior issue.
I think NoPoke is being generous with only prize card penalties for some serious shuffling issues......

Right now there is a lot of insufficient shuffling taking place out there which should be receiving prize card penalties but is not. There is also some poor shuffling that should be picking up the Unsporting conduct penalty as it is so poor that advantage cannot be avoided. (example: order deck as pokemon - trainers - energy then double nickle followed by minimal shuffling.) There is also some deliberate cheating where part of the deck is controlled.

I think people have gone over the top with this, why can't we all pile shuffle and be done with it? I mean 6 piles of 10 should naturally de-clump cards as is.
This isn't like the shaymin issue either.
Because pile shuffling is still able to be heavily manipulated a la double nickel?

Henry organizes his deck Pokemon/TTS/energy and proceeds to double nickel with 4 riffles after.
There is also a key phrase in there:
Once cards have been revealed (and reordered!), you have left the shuffle and have to start all over again.
I think this is about more than randomizing your deck though.
If I play a "Search" card, I can look at my deck and determine what cards are prized. A "search" card allows you to do that.
Playing a "shuffle" action does not automatically carry with it a "look at your deck" component. Why should I (or my opponent) be able to get this additional information simply because we are being directed to randomize our decks?
A shuffle does NOT automatically mean "learn what is in your deck/prizes."
