As far as I know, Nishida doesn't have a card associated with him.

That episode was an anime filler and is not in the manga. Suetsugu hasn't written a scene in which Nishida has professed his love for karuta nor does Nishida have a single card associated with him. So Taichi isn't alone, Nishida is there with him.
One of the big similarities between Nishida and Taichi is that they bother prefer the competitive aspect of the game as revealed during the first episode of the second season (Taichi wanted focus on the Mejin/Queen qualifiers and Nishida on the highschool tournament). Is that the message, if you only like competitive karuta you don't love it?
