Remember anything you can do in the menuBar you can do with a script.
Since the "Delete Card" is in the menuBar you would script something like:

on wipe
  domenu "Delete Card"
end wipe

You might want to set the can'tDelete to false
The exact variable is cantDelete
The last card of a stack can't be deleted this way either.
Also if it is the last card of a protected background then you have to
unprotect the background first.
