black aces

Darkest poker duo

Black aces are the ace of spades and ace of clubs—the two aces printed in black ink in a standard deck of playing cards.

In some card games, black aces carry special significance or scoring value.

The phrase occasionally appears in military slang for African American fighter pilots, echoing the historical Tuskegee Airmen.
