SHUFFLING Shuffle your Deck really well before you play! You do not want all your monsters to be clumped together. You want a nice random spread of cards so that you have variety in your hand. If you have trouble shuffling, just take the cards and put them 1 at a time in 8 different piles. Then stack the piles on top of each other. This takes a little time but gives you a good shuffle. Remember to let your opponent cut your Deck after the shuffle. - click here for another Dueling Tip.
