If I add two decks together and then draw a card, do my odds of drawing a specific card increase or decrease as compared to drawing from a single deck?

To be more clear, forgive my garbled header, say I want to draw an ace of any suit from a deck of cards. Would my odds increase or decrease if I were to try and draw it from two decks mixed together instead of one?

What affects the outcome more, the number of cards in the deck, or the number of copies of said card?

To draw one ace, of any suit, from a single deck of cards (without jokers) is 4/52, or 1/13. To do so from 2 decks of cards is 8/104…or 1/13. The odds do not change.
