    It's not a riffle shuffle or a rifle shuffle, it's a bridge. The way we shuffle in Magic is more akin to what is known as a faro shuffle.

    • @CurseOfBoggart
      @CurseOfBoggart 4 дня назад

      Naw the normal shuffle where you're shoving half the deck into the other half via top or bottom corner is close to the faro. However he is in fact also riffle shuffling, as the magic community calls it, otherwise called the bridge coined by magicians and/or card game dealers whoever the heck invented it first.

      @@CurseOfBoggart A bridge is not a shuffle at all. It does nothing to randomise the deck, it's a type of flourish. If the magic community call it a riffle shuffle they are just plain wrong. And thanks for just saying exactly what I said about the faro shuffle.

      @@Adam-bk9tt I think you're misunderstanding the language here. You can faro shuffle without doing a bridge. You can also faro shuffle with doing a bridge. That's common referred to as the riffle shuffle. Whether it's objectively correct or not is beside the point, you're just being an arrogant elitist or upholding some sworn oath to Meriam-Webster for some unknown reason.

      @@CurseOfBoggart I'm not misunderstanding anything. I learned various shuffling techniques, flourishes, cuts and chip tricks as I played a lot of poker before getting into MTG. What you are describing is not a riffle shuffle that is all. You are free to continue calling it such just as you are free to call a cow a horse, you are wrong but have a good day.

    I've had the same problems with Katana and Shield. Bottoms splitting and odd color lots.
    But it is a mass produced item; so some variance is expected.

    love katana, but dragon shield dual matte have really work wonders. Sadly quality over price katana is a bit cheaper for an equally nice feeling, but the variety in color to my many random fun decks is better achieve with dragons. (and while im writing this im deciding whether to get blue or clear sleeves from katana lol)

    I don't know where you've been getting your Dragon Shields from, but I encountered no such issues with any recent sleeves.
    While I get that its your experience, its not mine. If you're happy with Katanas, then great for you. I found them to be too shallow and the cards always ended up sticking out here and there. Also they get dirty QUICK. Not from actual dirt, but just from the natural oil secreted from hands. I can't keep washing mu hands every 15 min to keep the sleeves clean.

    I picked up Katana sleeves a few months back, and I'm working on switching all my non-commander decks to them. They're good enough that I don't feel like I have to double sleeve my cards anymore.😂

    Would be a game changer if they made Katanas with a matte finish ok the front as well.

  • @KDD0063
    @KDD0063 11 месяцев назад

    Almost all sleeves are too big, I like KMC Perfect Hard because they are the perfect size, the problem is they don't have any colors! It would be nice if more companies made smaller sleeves and also where there is a color or picture on the back, but when you look at the front, it is black so it blends in with the border of the card.

      True. Dragon Shield colors are better and look cooler, but the quality sucks. Katana sleeves are better quality, by far. They need better colors though. A very boring coloring, but best quality.

    Would you mind double sleeving a deck or just some cards with katanas?
    Ive only bought Katanas once and loved everything about them except how hard it was to double sleeve.
    If you have the means to test if its true I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks for the videos :D

      Some batches of katanas might be too tight to fit top loading inner sleeves. Green and orange in particular would only take side loading for me and still took a lot of force to get in. Still love em but it's a little annoying.
