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?

Fun fact: There are so many permutations of the order of a deck of cards that it’s almost statistically impossible for anyone to have ever held a deck with the exact same order of cards as any shuffled deck you’ve held.
Edit: And they probably won’t for a very very long time.
