The Alex Stunt

The Alex Stunt applies to TCG games where a player either plays or is dumb/incompetent. The player would actively ignore card limits and if it means they could win, they would fake a ruling where "someone" told them they could do so. That someone is usually someone reputable but isn't there at that moment.

This was named after the most nortorious TCG stuntman Alex

P1: Did you hear Alex was playing 2 of xxxx in his deck?
P2: but you can only have 1
P1: yea he was pulling another one of his stunts
P2: ah the good old 'the Alex Stunt"
