this assumes the entire deck being dealt, which is really rare

But is that rarity cause or effect?
Bridge, Hearts, Pinochle, Spades, BS/Cheat, and President off the top of my head all deal the full deck. The first four tend to be played only with 4 players because it's an even deal, which is too bad
You can throw away the As or Ks to get a lovely (2^4 * 3)-card deck.
Or make a piquet deck like for 500 or Euchre.
