Didn't see Amendment in the cards (8)
I believe the answer is:
destined
'in the cards' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'didn't see amendment' is the wordplay.
'amendment' indicates anagramming the letters.
'didnt'+'see'='didntsee'
'didntsee' is an anagram of 'DESTINED'.
(Other definitions for destined that I've seen before include "Intended; doomed" , "Didn't see, being fated" , "Designated" , "Fated, fore-ordained" , "Intended (for a particular end)" .)
