Reminds me a little of when a close group of friends and I were obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh back in middle school. At sleepovers, we'd constantly duel each other for hours and refine our decks to no end. To make it "more fun" (at least, from our perspectives), we'd do a limited kind of sorting on our decks before each game and stack the decks in the pattern "monster, monster, non-monster" so that even after our opponents shuffled our decks for us, they'd still be in a relatively optimal configuration. |

It definitely is more fun. As a kid, I won a Pokemon TCG match because my opponent never got a card they could play and forfeited (although it turns out we both just didn't know the actual rules for this). It was a little funny, but not fun to win, and I can't imagine he enjoyed it either. There's a lot of sub-optimal shuffles where the winner is so obviously pure luck it makes you wonder why you ever even considered strategy in the first place and IMO those are really unfun.
