The deck of many things

How exactly does it work? - if someone could post the source code or something it would be appriciated
Saving and reloading seems to work only a little bit (you might swap between 2 cards) except when you have drawn balance, where going back and reloading doesn't change anything.

However it works, the code seems quite effective to counter save scummin - could it be easily applied to other random effects in the game?

It's all in DOMT.DLG with RandomNum() and variables being set when you pick a bad card.

Here is how Deck of many things work. At least in Baldur's Gate 2

That needs to be updated for EE, or changed, because the Third "bad draw at some point" should also have the "Erinyes" in it.
