Andrew Newman Vs Ryan Soles
Indiana Regionals via The Top Cut
"Skip to 8:15. Newman has played an N and begins to shuffle his deck when a Pokemon Catcher falls face-up onto the table. Watch closely to where that Pokemon Catcher ends up: Newman places Pokemon Catcher on the bottom of the deck, shuffles it to the very top of the deck, and shuffles a few more into the middle of the deck (being careful not to change the top card of his deck, of course). Soles does not cut, and lone behold the top card of Newman's deck is a Pokemon Catcher.
Skip to 21:00. After Soles knocks out a Garchomp, Newman sees he needs an energy to do Dragon Blade with his second Garchomp, which sits on his bench as he decides what to promote. Despite having a free-retreating Emolga on his bench, he confidently promotes the Garchomp. He plays an N, places his hand on top of his deck, and then proceeds to actually LOOK THROUGH HIS DECK before shuffling. Newman "shuffles," Soles does not cut, and what do you know - he draws an energy.
Skip to 22:45. Newman plays a Random Receiver, revealing the remaining three cards of his deck, which includes a Garchomp. With no supporters remaining in his deck, Newman "shuffles" his three remaining cards. Normally after you search a deck with only 3-5 cards remaining, you give it a nice long shuffle so as to be sure you are sufficiently randomizing your deck. Not Newman! He "shuffles" his 3 remaining cards by simply moving the Garchomp from the front of the deck to the back, and then to the front again. Next turn he draws - wait for it - the Garchomp, and then uses Rare Candy on his last Gible.
I mean, c'mon. Normally I probably wouldn't say anything, but Soles is a friend and so I am especially angered to see Newman taking advantage of Soles being trustworthy enough to not cut Newman's deck." - Mattalvis @ pokegym
