    I have the same question. Why not "on a besoin.." When is "besoin" used?

        I think "a besoin de" indicates an emotional need, a desire.

        Is pulling a card the only/normal way to say this?

          Tirer is the common verb used to mean "draw", as in a card, a curtain, even a bow to shoot an arrow, yes.

            It also means to shoot a gun.
