A shuffled deck, after shuffled, has only one state, the specific ordering of the cards it contains. Maybe an example with a deck with glued cards vs one with loose cards would make more sense ? Or is the number of possible end states of shuffling an ordered deck is lower than a random ordered one? Debatable if you need to assumed a perfect shuffling process … (unless, off course, I am missing something in understanding about entropy)
