How do you shuffle big decks? (feddit.de)

Some games come with gigantic stacks of cards that I find hard to mix with card-friendly methods. Games like Ark Nova, Clank, Hogwarts Battle have unmanageable decks but I hate bending the cards.

Whats the best way?

For games with excessively large decks, when I first get the game or add in a new expansion I take a chunk of the cards that I can comfortably shuffle and shuffle it. Then, I set aside about half of the shuffled cards and shuffle in about as many of the unshuffled. I go through the whole deck like this a few times. It is not perfect, but it is probably random enough.
