Element Cards: Gives Vailian Toa-level control over an element. Modifies his armor so as to reflect the chosen Element -- for example, the Fire Card would cause his hands to appear as if they were on fire, the Iron Card would make him appear more metallic, etc.
Power Cards: Gives Vailian the ability to use the power(s) he places in the Coder for an hour. Modifies his armor so as to resemble the power he is using/use markings to symbolize them -- the Intangibility Card, for instance, would make him appear see-through without being active, and the Vertigo Card would place swirl markings on his armor.
Kanohi Cards: Gives Vailian the ability to use (a) Kanohi power(s) when he places them in the Coder. They modify his face so as to temporarily make it resemble the face of the mask he chooses; if more than one Kanohi Card is used, it will use a mixture of the characteristics of all three masks.
Blank Cards: Do absolutely nothing. They are only in the deck because Vailian is unable to remove them -- Lyxek made them specifically so that if Vailian were to turn on him, he could challenge him and summon all five to the top of the deck, essentially leaving Vailian a sitting duck.
Also, as for how the cards he gets in battle are determined -- I'm leaving that up for my opponent to decide. As trustworthy as I know/think I am (if a bit unreliable in terms of meeting deadlines ) I have no doubt that if I leave it up to myself to decide, then someone's going to call foul. The only thing is, if people consistently cause me to draw really bad hands (say, three or four Blank Cards and one or two of the weaker powers) then I'm going to retcon those hands and draw my own, respectable hand -- so, no, you're not going to get a huge edge against me that easily.
However, do remember this: I have faith in the BIONICLE RPG community, so I shouldn't have to do this at all (unless someone doesn't feel like deciding my hand for me.)
