cut cards
Split the deck
To cut cards is to divide a deck before dealing, lifting a portion and placing it beneath the rest.
This guards against stacking.
In casual games, one player shuffles and another cuts.
Cut the cards before we deal.
To cut cards can also mean to draw randomly to determine something: We cut cards to see who'd go first.
