MTG pros usually use the 'Mash Shuffle' for its efficiency and safety on the cards. They split their deck in half and gently 'mash' the two halves together, ensuring the cards aren't bent. This method is quick and helps keep the cards in good condition over time. It's also a good way to ensure a thorough mix if done a few times.

Just do the overhand shuffle, folks. Quick, easy, and gets the job done. Who has time for fancy shuffling when there's a game to win?

Pile shuffling alone isn鈥檛 enough for a random mix but good for counting cards to ensure all are present before a game. Pros often use it in combination with mash or riffle shuffling for a truly randomized deck.

I've watched pro players and can say that many of them actually prefer riffle shuffling. Yes, it can be rougher on the cards, but using sleeves and being gentle can minimize damage. It's all about that perfect mix between efficiency and keeping your precious cards safe.
