Stacking a card deck specifically for curse of strahd)

Edited 1513882076
Hi Is it possible to stack a card deck so that I as DM know on beforehand which the cards on top of the pile are? I am running Curse of strahd (5e) campaign where we are about to do a card reading from the taroka deck. This reading determines a number of important aspects of the campaign, and rather than letting this be completely random I want to control it. So, this is what I need: The players will draw five cards, three from the "low deck" and two from the "high deck" of the Taroka set. I want to stack the deck and put the specific cards that represents the path I chose in top so that they all get drawn in a particular order. Can this be done? /Birkovic

make multiple decks with 1 in each, then use macros called 'draw 1st card' 'draw 2nd card' 'draw 3rd' card and so on... and thier only option is to pull the 1 card you put in the deck?

Draw them yourself as the GM, and lay them out on the page in order. Even if you stack a card deck it just takes one player asking "Can I shuffle that?" to ruin the surprise ;)

I actually have an API script for this, but it requires the API, a Pro subscriber perk.
