Hello,
I’d like help with a character build. What I have in mind might not be effective, so any opinions on alternatives are appreciated. My idea so far is a cartomancer-dipped, hexcrafter magus, who focuses on debuffing any obstacles before assassinating his target.
Can a cartomancer use the deadly dealer touch attack spell as part of a spell combat attack? What are some good build ideas for an ambush style assassin?
You might be able to pull off your general concept with just Magus, using the Cardcaster and Hexcrafter archetypes. But there could be a conflict between them.
Cardcaster and Hexcrafter may or may not be considered compatible magus archetypes. There's a gray area with your Magus Arcana. Role Dealer replaces your 3rd level Magus Arcana, however you will still gain your 6th level magus arcana. The Hexcrafter gains Hex Arcana, however it does not explicitly modify or replace Magus Arcana, nor does it list a level at which you gain it. It appears to simply add options to your Magus Arcana.
By my reading you should be able to take both archetypes. You'll simply have delayed access to your Hex Arcana/Magus Arcana.
Ah ya but I wanted to have spell combat in melee, and just deliver touch spells with the witch cartomancer archetype. I’m curious if magus built this way can use spellcombat and the witch’s ability to cast touch spells through cards in conjunction.
That I don't know, but I suspect you can't. I flagged your thread to get moved to the rules forum, where you should be able to get an answer.

Oh cool, thanks!
