You can draw the cards in a random order by using the output of an accumulator fed to a block cipher as an index. The fixed output size of a block cipher does entail extra work in filtering numbers outside the range you'd like, just as you would with an LFSR. (as a direct power of 2, you could directly use an LFSR or some ECB-mode block ciphers as if it were format-preserving, but that is "coincidence").

You can produce an exact random permutation with a Feistel network for any number, in this case selecting every number between 0 and 2^64 exactly once, with no appreciable space requirements.

   procedure feistel(input) {
      result = input;
      h = 2<<32;
      for (let i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
          l = (input / h)|0;
          r = input % h;
          temp = r;
          fn = (r + i) % h;
          r = (l + fn) % h;
          l = temp;
          result = h * l + r;
      }
  
      return result;
  }



Is that code correct? Why do you overwrite `result` every step of the loop if you only use it at the end?


Good eye, `input` should be replaced with `result` when building the subkeys within the loop.

Here's a working implementation:

  function feistel(ctr, lr, ll) {
      let result = ctr;
      for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
          let l = (result / ll)|0;
          let r = result % ll;
          let temp = r;
          // alter round fn's multiplier & increment accordingly.
          let fn = (r * 16807 + i) % lr;
          r = (l + fn) % lr;
          l = temp;
          result = lr * l + r;
      }
      return result;
  }
  
  let rsize = 8;
  let outputs = new Set();
  for(let i = 0; i < rsize * rsize; i++) outputs.add(feistel(i, rsize, rsize))
  for(let i = 0; i < rsize * rsize; i++) if (!outputs.has(i)) console.log('failure: ', i);
