In my pokemon card system, I did not have any instance of cards saved with the /mob, just the card series, the name of the card and the # of cards. The only card instances that would appear is when battling, where it is created when needed.

In my Battle datum, this is how the skeleton worked: 
Battle
   New(mob/m1, mob/m2)    //   Called when you do new/Battle(M1, M2) where M = mob ref

       Check & Set all battle attributes (ex: the opponent, creating cards, etc)
       Assign who is player "1" and "2" (for alternating turns)
       Infinite loop here (as long as GameOver is false)
              Draw card
              Do other stuff
              End turn
              player_turn = (player_turn%2)+1 (switches players turn)
       Award stuff


Edit:

Specifically relating to drawing cards, this is what happened in my system (of course it can differ in yours):
In the Check/Set section, a /list of cards was created: 
var/deck = list(list(Cards of player 0), list(Cards of player 1))

Deck reference -> deck[player_turn+1]


Then in the Draw card stage: 
var
   list/D = Deck reference of player
charge of the turn
if(D.len == 0) 
    GameOver(loser = player_turn)

var/Card/C = D[1]   //  Picks the first card...
D -= C
hand[player_turn+1] += C  //Adds the card

switch(D.len)
   if(0)
       /Deck[player ref].icon_state = "empty"
   if(1 to 10)
      IS = 1/6 empty
   ...etc...


Point of the above: to make a drawing system, first you should make your card system. Your drawing system will fall in place when making one.

I'm doing all the basics stuff before the card system like shops, the cards and etc.
