Hey! Just doing some research and I want to know what is your favorite "Alt Win" card in any TCG/CCG?
Specifically I'm looking for cards that have an effect that says something like "If X, you win the game" or "...another player loses the game", etc.
Normally these effects are outside the scope of a game's usual Win/loss rules.
