Not every character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise has powers derived from cards. Remember that the fancy duel disks only create holograms. The only characters that actually gain powers from the cards are those that can make the cards and their abilities real. In the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series only the wielders of the Millenium Items can do that (and also anyone who received power from the Oricalcos Stone in the Waking the Dragons Arc). In GX it's more widespread and several people could do it. In 5Ds it was restricted to Psychic Dualists, Signers, Dark Signers, and the Yilaster Emperors. I haven't seen the other Yu-Gi-Oh! shows yet but I doubt every single duelist in them can make cards and their powers real.
