How do you shuffle big decks? (feddit.de)

Some games come with gigantic stacks of cards that I find hard to mix with card-friendly methods. Games like Ark Nova, Clank, Hogwarts Battle have unmanageable decks but I hate bending the cards.

Whats the best way?

Table-riffle, split into smaller decks if needed. Easy to learn and not too bad on the cards since you bend them much less than you'd with a regular riffle.

I enjoyed watching this video about how the pros do it.

Thanks for the vid, where does he speak about the shuffle? I tried to skip through but he was only talking about how to open in Ark nova. Do you have a timestamp

That video is more about managing the a large deck by splitting it and doing it to casino standards, meant it more as an interesting tidbit than a tutorial.

This 2 minute video explains the shuffle itself in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvLE_MCNOe4
