    Yes, but you must have walked the Logrus to do so.  Merlin says (in
  one of his conversations with Bill) that one must be an initiate of 
  either the pattern or the Logrus to draw trumps.  Merlin even says that
  the person who drew his "Trumps of Doom" (ie. Rinaldo)  WAS an initiate 
  of either the pattern or Logrus because the Trumps he drew were too good
  to have been done by someone who was simply from a nearby shadow of Amber
  or the Courts.
