Each player now deals a layout consisting of five stock piles in a row. The first stock pile has 1 card, the second Deal these piles face down and then turn the top card of each stock pile face up or deal them that way in the first place. That leaves a pile of 11 cards in each player's hand, where they must stay! These are the spit cards , and the players should not look at them.
After both players acknowledge readiness, both shout "spit" while turning over the top card in their hand their first spit card. These two cards are placed side by side between the players' stock piles. These two cards and the cards that will be played on top of them are the spit piles. The full layout should now look something like this:. The players now play simultaneously as fast as they want. The object is to get rid of all the cards in your stock piles onto the spit piles. Using only one hand , and moving only one card at a time , you can either:.
Example: In the diagram, player A can play the ace or the three, and then turn up the next card in that stock pile. Playing the 3 is inadvisable as it would allow player B to play the 4.
Player B can play the 8 and then it is a race as to whether B manages to play the 9 before A can play 7. A card counts as played as soon as it touches the pile or space onto which it is to be placed. A played card cannot be retracted and as soon as it is played the opponent is entitled to play on it. If a position is reached where neither player can play i. Play then continues as before.
If neither player can play and one player has no spit cards left, then the other player spits alone on only one spit pile. The player can choose either pile, but having chosen, must continue to spit on that pile whenever no play is possible until one player runs out of stock cards. In either of these cases, both players choose a spit pile by slapping it with their hand - normally both players will try to slap whichever pile they think is smaller. If the two players choose different piles, each player takes the pile they chose; if both choose the same pile, the player who gets there first i.
Both players add any spit cards and stock cards remaining on their side to the spit pile they took, shuffle their cards well, and deal new layouts as before from the cards they have. One player will probably have more spit cards left in in their face down pile than the other.
When ready, both players shout "spit" and play continues as before. If one player has fewer than 15 cards, that player will not be able to deal a complete set of stock piles.
In this case the player deals the cards into five stock piles as far as they will go, and turns over the top card of each. However, knowing the difference between the two is important, especially in formats like Commander where both Swiftfoot Boots which gives an equipped creature Hexproof and Lightning Greaves which gives them Shroud see regular play. Ward is a new keyword ability that was introduced in Strixhaven: School of Mages.
It's meant to be a 'lighter' Hexproof, letting opponents force their spells through if they want to, rather than simply be completely locked out of interacting with a permanent.
Unlike Hexproof and Shroud, Ward is a triggered ability. A permanent with ward can still be targeted, however, an additional cost must be paid once the Ward ability triggers. If it is not paid, the spell or ability is countered. The cost can vary, from simple mana cost on cards like Adrix and Ne or Bronze Guardian, to more complex things like losing life from Sedgemoor Witch or discarding a card with Graveyard Trespasser. One of the big differences between Ward and Shroud or Hexproof is that, while Hexproof and Shroud make a permanent an invalid target, meaning a spell or ability can't even go onto the stack if it targets them, Ward does not.
The creature is still targeted, it just poses an additional cost before that ability resolves. Countering also has the added benefit or downside, depending on the opponent's deck of putting the spell cast into their graveyard.
While most of the time losing a card to Ward is a bad move for an opponent, and might dissuade them from targeting your permanent, it can also help in lots of graveyard-focused decks, such as a Lier, Disciple of the Drowned flashback Commander deck.
The other downside of Ward is that there are spells that simply cannot be countered, and render Ward completely useless. For example, Abrupt Decay can't be countered , even by Ward. Protection is a much broader ability that combines Shroud with a few other traits.
Contrary to the popular belief that Protection simply makes something immune from being affected, it only actually prevents four things that are often remembered with the acronym DEBT:. Vincent McNabb gives good advice generally on when to hyphenate—never if you can get away with it, and if you must, in a sensible place. However, the question of where to hyphenate is something that dictionaries have answered for generations.
Every entry has a word split into syllables, and technically speaking, according to traditional rules of typesetting, you can hyphenate a word at any syllable boundary. Of course there are various rules of thumb and heuristics to choose the best place to hyphenate, and in many cases hyphenating a word dramatically reduces readability, but in a strict answer to OP's original question, it is acceptable to hyphenate a word at any syllable boundary, and you can find all the syllable boundaries in a dictionary.
Technically speaking, hyphens are acceptable between any two syllables. But it is best to use them between prefixes, roots, and suffixes if at all. In most casual documents, hyphens decrease readability and oftentimes make documents look more cluttered, despite the fact that they form a nice, neat block. However, in news articles or novels, in places where moving the entire word would compromise the shape of the document, it is very common to see end hyphenation.
Pick up a copy of 'Frankenstein' or 'The Magician's Nephew' and I assure you that you'll find quite a few.
My copy of 'Seabiscuit' splits tomorrow between pages. If possible, add another word to the line, or take one away, so you don't need to split in the first place. In fact. However, I will give what I consider to be ok guidelines:. There are really no proper rules as to how it should be done, when it is, so basically, use common sense. If it must be done, try to keep the components of meaning together - this is easy with obviously compound words, such as keyboard.
But mostly, splitting the words just makes them hard to read - and can lead to nightmares when the content of text is changed, because words that were once at the end of a line will no longer be at the end of a line, and everything will have to be re-done. Unfortunately, most word processors are not very good at automatically splitting words, so it is best to keep that feature off.
It is also possible, however, to put markers in words where the word processor will be allowed to split the word. This hyphen is invisible, unless the word gets split at the end of a line. But as a rule of thumb, see if the word is still easy to understand if you say it out loud with a pause where you are going to break the word. Usually, try and split it in the middle of the word.
