Character Sheets that use Cards instead of Dice

Hey Guys! I'm working on getting a character sheet created for Roll20 for Suited, a roleplaying game that uses randomized draws from a deck of 52 playing cards instead of dice rolls.  Is there a way to create a character sheet button that will draw a random card for a player when they click on it? I was thinking by creating some sort of randomized table the sheet could use to roll on?

Does the card get put back in the deck, or doe the deck slowly shrink in size? If the card is immediately placed back in the deck, you could create a rollable table to simulate a deck of cards. But, to answer your first question, no there's no way to draw a card from a character sheet without the API (a Pro subscriber feature), and even then...I'm not sure what all the API can do with cards (it was not possible at all, but I know some API capabilities have been added).

I don't believe that the ability to draw cards has been added to the API, but there's certainly no way to automate it at the plus or free level. You might simulate this is with a rollable table, but even then you run into problems such as being able to draw multiples of the same card.
Thanks for your responses guys! I was Pro for over a year but recently moved and had to cut back my budget a bit.
