He doesn't want to use his trump card incase Madara has other plans or has his own trump card.
Kabuto wants to betray Madara, that's for sure but he wants to play it like he's on his side first.
I don't think Kabuto knows about the former jinchuuriki being the new six path of pain.
he knows Madara's got the body but doesn't know what's he's planning on them.
so for insurance, Kabuto is holding out his own trump card that can win both the war and also powerful enough to kill Madara.
in Chess, you don't just put you queen out spot because there's a free easy kill. you strategies and wait for the right time
He never said the coffin was his trump card. he used it to convince madara to join forces with him.
it could be just Madara's real body/identity and like Orochimaru's former bodies - useless
agreed on the trump card not being the body thingy,
and well done with the chest analogy o.o, i step down from the argument, but i dont believe that the body is the sage still.
i guess it makes sense to hide the strongest queen in the world, but when you have that kinda power, not taking advantage of it early can let people retaliate.
also, if madara is the new six path sage, you never know, he might be able to rival that of the old sages power
