trumps

Outranks the rest

Trumps is a card game, or the suit designated to beat all others in such games.

A trump card outranks cards of other suits regardless of face value.

Figuratively, a trump card is any decisive advantage held in reserve: She played her trump card and won the negotiation.

To trump is to outdo or defeat: His offer trumped all the others.

To come up trumps (British) is to succeed unexpectedly.
