It means that the person is not very smart. It is a reference to playing cards. A "full deck" of standard playing cards is 52 cards. If you have less than 52 cards you don't have a "full deck" and it will be difficult (and not smart) to try to play card games.
Not playing with a full deck means a person is not very smart.
