Cards not leaving deck after being sold at bazaar (unconfirmed) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=29706.msg377760#msg377760

I have noticed something odd when selling cards in the bazaar.  This doesn't always happen but I've noticed it on several occasions.  I have kept most of the cards I have won or bought but when I get over 6 of the same cards I go to the bazaar and sell the excess (can't play more than 6, right?).  Last night I made a point of selling all non-pillar cards that were in excess of 6  (ie, I had 8 "Deja Vu" cards so I sold 2).  Tonight I logged on, went to the oracle, played 3 rounds against AI on level 3 and only won one card.  I went to the bazaar and had a look at what was in my stack of cards. Lo and behold, the 2 "Deja Vu" cards were back, as well as the some others that I sold.  I did not note my gold balance though to see if it adjusted down by the value of cards that reappeared but I'm pretty sure it didn't. 
I am using Firefox with Flashblock (usually disabled for this site),  NoScript (also usually disabled for this site), and Adblock Plus. 
While I'm not adverse easy gold it is a little more satisfying to have really earned it.

If you quit the game directly from the bazaar without going back through the main menu then the last modification are not saved ... Could it be an explanation for your case?

That looks like it was the problem.  I went into the bazaar as soon as I logged on, sure enough all cards I sold were back.  I sold down to 6, went to oracle, played a few rounds, logged off, logged back on, went to bazaar.  The cards did not re-appear.  Looks like it's an exploitable bug though..

Not saving means that you don't save the electrum; it's as if you didn't sell the cards in the first place. You can't really gain anything from exploiting not doing something.
