I know that it's against the rules to stack your deck while shuffling, my question is more towards pre shuffling. if while searching your deck (say from the effect of a trainer/supporter/stadium or attack) you notice some cards right next to each other that you don't want together as 2 DCE's right next to each other, is it ok to separate them?
also, is it against the spirit of the game to stack your deck so that when you take the deck out of the box they only see a specific card (like say a water energy in an Arceus deck) to mislead the opponent to thinking you have a certain type of deck? even though they really shouldn't be trying to look at your deck as you're shuffling or taking it out of the deck box.
thanks guys.
DE "I highly doubt it would be seen unless the opponent was actually looking for what card was on the bottom." that's why I was stating that second part.. kind of a punishment for them looking (since an Arceus deck can really use any energy). I've decided to stick a Psychic energy on the bottom while in the deck box. just in case.
