Alternately, take two identical decks of cards (say, a Canasta set), remove 1-6 from each of them, and shuffle them together. The result is a 48 card deck. Your odds are still slightly distorted (for any given combination, odds range from 1/308 to 1/203, instead of a constant 1/216), but the more cards you have the less your numbers get distorted.
