Before end of deck, bridge player to cut and draw (6)
I believe the answer is:
sketch
'draw' is the definition.
(sketching is a kind of drawing)
'before end of deck bridge player to cut' is the wordplay.
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
'bridge player' becomes 's' (bridge players are North, East, South, West).
'to cut' becomes 'etch' (I've seen this in other clues).
The last letter of 'deck' is 'k'.
'k' put after 's' is 'sk'.
'sk'+'etch'='SKETCH'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for sketch that I've seen before include "Short humorous scene" , "Slow of understanding" , "Unfinished drawing" , "Make rough drawing" , "'A rough, quick drawing (6)'" .)
