I wasn’t lazy and tested the owned mythic theory, and it isn’t correct.
On my second account I have those mythics
And this was my explore battle

Thanks for testing it. Something else is going on then as well, but did you notice a preponderance of the owned mythics showing up? For me it isn’t even close. I always get the ones I own. There is definitely some connection between the mythics (and I believe legendaries as well) in your inventory and the enemy pool in explore.
You’re right about weekly event troops- just got a scurvy seadog in Zhul’khari. Also got Undine there (which I own, and which is not an event troop and does not show up in Zhul’khari’s questline/challenges). Edit: and a doomclaw. The usual cast of mythics I own…
New conjecture: The substituted troop comes from:
mythics and legendaries you own
gnomes
special mythics/legendaries that don’t have a kingdom (war, seasonal imps, king gorgotha etc)
Event troops
