I’d typically assume that after most card games, the cards become at least semi-ordered in some way, necessitating shuffling. However, after a standard game of war, I can’t quite figure out how the arrangement would become less random, since the winning and losing card stay together. If they’re indeed mathematically “less random,” after the game, why?

Don’t have an answer to your question but it reminded me of a (likely apocryphal) story about the creation of the first commercial Bingo sets and how the difficulty of creating sets of randomized cards drove the designer crazy. It would have been much more difficult in those days especially in regards to the printing process and needing to manually lay out the numbers as opposed to laser printing today in manufacturing.
