After one '''Cutting''' the [[ShuffleMain Deck|shuffles]] their [[Main Deck]] before is a [[Duel]], they must hand it over to way of reorganizing cards in the opponent for a shuffle, and a procedure known as a '''cut'''Deck. To cut a deck, one must gently take small stacks from Cutting involves splitting the Deckinto two separate piles, and put them back then stacking the two piles together in the opposite way to how they originally were. Since cutting does not change the relative order of the cards, it may not be used as a different ordersubstitute for shuffling.

Before starting a Duel, the player must shuffle their own Deck, then their opponent may cut and shuffle it. During a Duel, if a player shuffles their Deck due to [[search]]ing their Deck, their opponent has the opportunity to either shuffle or cut it. ==In the anime and manga==In the anime and manga, when during the Duel between [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Arkana]] dueled, because Arkana had trimmed the edges of his "[[Dark Magician (Arkana)|Dark Magician]]" cards so that , when Yugi cut his deck, Arcana's Deck he would inadvertently cut it at the point where so that the "Dark Magician" would be on top of a small stack, ensuring that one of the cards would be at the top of the entire deckDeck. Yugi, however, saw through this strategy tactic due to Arkana using the card-damaging "shotgun shuffle" and devised a [[Card Destruction|counter]] against it.
