Yu-Gi-Oh! » Rulings Q&A

just had an unpleasant experience with an opp that kept calling judge...bc i shuffled my hand...when i played multiple cards and was not searching or drawing cards.

twice judge was called.. i kept playing and got an uc minor for an appeal b4 the ruling could be given. which i have been given that before eventhough i was right. the opp demanded i stopped hand shuffling... is that a new thing now?

There has to be more to it than that.

There's no way you'd get ruled against just for shuffling your hand.

You can actually iv done it several times. You should not be shuffling ur hand without reason for the sake of it. The shuffling can disrupt gameplay or contribute to lag. If ur doing it and asked to stop then you should stop.

That's why I said there has to be more to it than just shuffling your hand.

I seen people shuffle their hand every time they add a card from deck to hand. Yet never get punished for it.

I did play against 1 player who tried to use the shuffle mechanic as an excuse not to type, which they left the duel cause I wasn't going to allow it.

I'm talking about people manually do it afterwards.

But again, still drives the point home.

Look if you do like 1 manual shuffle every now and then, it's not going to cause a problem.

Where it causes a problem is if you go:

Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand
Shuffle Hand

That interrupts the flow of the game and spams the duel log, which will definitely annoy the judges.
