Removed cards

Added with the same patch, the following card appears to have been intended for use with this Brawl, apparently as a means of summoning the various Trons, but was absent from the released version of the encounter. Since Nefarian`s deck contains the four Tron minions themselves, it seems likely this card represents an earlier model for obtaining them.
