Changing the order of the remaining cards (shuffling them) does not change the total possible outcomes remaing in the deck. All
Card counting is - is tracking the remaining number of high/low cards, their order is irrelevant and shuffling them does nothing to change what remains, nor the rules by which the dealer must play and bet (I,e, having to hit on 16, having to stay on 17 etc)... nor will it change the betting strategy of the player. Saying something like "make his move" suggests you do not understand what counting is or how it is done. There is no "move". Betting / playing strategy is based on the number of high/low cards played up to any given point. And you play/bet accordingly with each hand. It's about winning more hands than you lose over an extended period of time... not "making a move"

More cards simply turns it into a longer process but the point to be understood is that the rules of blackjack favor the player, counting gives an additional advantage to the player.... regardless of how many decks are used... There is already over 30,000,000 possible outcomes with a single deck. 5 decks just flattens the curve a little but the advantage is always squarely on the players side.
