I think it would be easey. Take your 17 and this chart
     Spades  Diamonds Hearts Clubs
A      18      17       16    15
Q      17      16       15    14
J      16      15       14    13
10     15      14       13    12
9      14      13       12    11
8      13      12       11    10
7      12      11       10     9
6      11      10        9     8
5      10       9        8     7
4      9        8        7     6
3      8        7        6     5
2      7        6        5     4

This chart converts a card draw to a number between 4 and 18. The left side is the card number and the top is the suit. A draw of a Queen of diamonds would give us a 16.

Reversing this your 17 would give us two possiblities the Ace of Diamonds 3d12 or the Queen of spades 4d10. 

I would recommend makeing it a random chance for either, so for two possiblities a 1d6 roll with 1-3 being the higher die type and 4-6 the lower. With three 1-2 the best result, 3-4 the middle and 5-6 the worst. With four possible results, I would make it a card draw and the suit of the card determines the placement on the chart. 

I.E. in the case of an 11 a draw of Spades would make the 11 convert to a six of spades, while a draw of clubs would make it a 9 of clubs. 

Just one way to convert those numbers to Deadlands.
