Deck class can be called to generate a deck of playing card. Initially, the deck is ordered.

deck = Deck()
deck

A♣; 2♣; 3♣; 4♣; 5♣; 6♣; 7♣; 8♣; 9♣; 10♣; J♣; Q♣; K♣; A♦; 2♦; 3♦; 4♦; 5♦; 6♦; 7♦; 8♦; 9♦; 10♦; J♦; Q♦; K♦; A♥; 2♥; 3♥; 4♥; 5♥; 6♥; 7♥; 8♥; 9♥; 10♥; J♥; Q♥; K♥; A♠; 2♠; 3♠; 4♠; 5♠; 6♠; 7♠; 8♠; 9♠; 10♠; J♠; Q♠; K♠

shuffle() method could be used to shuffle the deck.

deck.shuffle()
deck

6♠; A♦; 8♣; 3♠; A♣; 7♠; K♥; 9♠; 6♣; A♠; 4♥; 5♦; K♠; 3♣; 3♦; 6♦; 2♦; Q♥; 5♠; 9♦; 2♠; K♣; 7♣; 9♣; 5♣; 10♦; A♥; 8♥; 10♥; 3♥; 4♠; 10♠; J♦; 4♦; 8♠; Q♠; J♠; Q♦; 9♥; 2♣; J♣; 7♥; K♦; 5♥; Q♣; 7♦; J♥; 10♣; 4♣; 2♥; 6♥; 8♦

draw_n() function can be used to draw n card with or without replacement.

let’s draw 10 cards with replacement.

draw_n(10, replace=True)

[4♣, 10♥, 4♣, 9♠, K♦, 3♥, 8♠, Q♦, Q♣, 3♠]

now let’s draw 10 cards without replacement.

draw_n(10, replace=False)

[K♦, 4♦, 3♠, Q♦, 7♥, A♦, 4♥, 10♥, 6♠, J♦]

Example: One can draw two sets of cards each set contains four cards and compare to see which one has higher rank.
