When a 9 (Witch) is the only 9 in the trick, does it count as trump for winning the trick?
The rulebook's Witch text says so directly, and players agree.

Yes. A lone Witch 9 is treated as a trump card only when deciding who wins the trick, and the decree card itself does not change. It beats any card outside the decree suit, and it ranks against real trumps by its number.
