Is a deck of cards arranged any less randomly after a game of War? Why?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Unless you have a very particular way of ordering the cards after a war, I would think two cards of the same rank are less likely than a randomly shuffled deck of cards to end up on the bottom.
