Mental Meta 2: Every Day I’m Shuffling | Dojo Of Lies. Interesting article about the effectiveness of various card shuffling methods. Particularly interesting for me is that the "Ripple-Shuffle" and "Mash-Shuffle" don't fare so well compared to a randomized "Pile-Shuffle". In MTG circles, the Riffle-Shuffle is often considered the gold standard - but it seems that a mixed method is actually more correct (which I probably also achieve with my Overhand-Shuffle and Mash-Shuffle).
