Instead of abstractly defining the spike/fire/flying as abilities, those could be physically represented by the card's location. In most card games (i.e. Magicka) the cards are set up facing each other in rows. In this card game, they could be set up with a single card in each column:

Cards on the lower column are ground cards and the higher cards are flying. Some cards (i.e. Podoboo or Thwomp) could could move up or down between turns. Going with Kriven's idea, certain powerups (i.e. Wings or Metal Cap) could change the height of cards.
Another thing...Some cards could function as trap cards and flipping them over has an effect. And to represent the spike/fire resistances, there could be dots on the sides of cards. Attacks could hit from the top, front, back, bottom and spike/fire resistances could be had in those four directions.
