in spades
To great excess
In spades means in abundance, to an extreme degree, or emphatically.
The phrase comes from card games where spades rank as the highest suit: If you wanted drama, last night's meeting delivered it in spades.
To have or do something in spades is to have or do it abundantly, with nothing held back: She's got talent in spades.
