Random adheres to the same rules Swap does. You still have to choose a deck that lives by the tier rules to enter a Swap game. Just because the mechanic itself allows you to potentially break your tier limit, doesn't mean you can break it before you enter the match.

I have gotten a Random hand once that adhered to my max potential with 60 cards. Squall plus 4 random out of my 3* pool. Conversely, I have gotten multiple hands of 5 1* cards due to their pool being larger than any other pool (except 5* is the same, but we can only have 1 of those at any time so their statistical value is lowered). The %s are definitely skewed in the favor of giving you crap, but you can get your max potential.

Using Swap mechanic as a basis to an argument for being able to break the tier restriction is a flawed argument, because you can't even enter the match breaking that rule.
