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

685 views

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?

If my logic is correct then a shuffled deck WILL result in a new order but an unshuffled deck will not (assuming you’re playing standard war with 2 players and must play top card).

Because if so assume the deck is arranged A-K spade-club-heart-diamond: player 1 gets A-K in spades and hearts player 2 gets A-K in order in clubs and diamonds. And they deadlock every turn
