-/**
- * 702.45. Splice
- * <p>
- * 702.45a Splice is a static ability that functions while a card is in your
- * hand. "Splice onto [subtype] [cost]" means "You may reveal this card from
- * your hand as you cast a [subtype] spell. If you do, copy this card's text box
- * onto that spell and pay [cost] as an additional cost to cast that spell."
- * Paying a card's splice cost follows the rules for paying additional costs in
- * rules 601.2b and 601.2e-g.
- * <p>
- * Example: Since the card with splice remains in the player's hand, it can
- * later be cast normally or spliced onto another spell. It can even be
- * discarded to pay a "discard a card" cost of the spell it's spliced onto.
- * <p>
- * 702.45b You can't choose to use a splice ability if you can't make the
- * required choices (targets, etc.) for that card's instructions. You can't
- * splice any one card onto the same spell more than once. If you're splicing
- * more than one card onto a spell, reveal them all at once and choose the order
- * in which their instructions will be followed. The instructions on the main
- * spell have to be followed first.
- * <p>
- * 702.45c The spell has the characteristics of the main spell, plus the text
- * boxes of each of the spliced cards. The spell doesn't gain any other
- * characteristics (name, mana cost, color, supertypes, card types, subtypes,
- * etc.) of the spliced cards. Text copied onto the spell that refers to a card
- * by name refers to the spell on the stack, not the card from which the text
- * was copied.
- * <p>
- * Example: Glacial Ray is a red card with splice onto Arcane that reads,
- * "Glacial Ray deals 2 damage to any target." Suppose Glacial Ray is spliced
- * onto Reach Through Mists, a blue spell. The spell is still blue, and Reach
- * Through Mists deals the damage. This means that the ability can target a
- * creature with protection from red and deal 2 damage to that creature.
- * <p>
- * 702.45d Choose targets for the added text normally (see rule 601.2c). Note
- * that a spell with one or more targets will be countered if all of its targets
- * are illegal on resolution.
- * <p>
- * 702.45e The spell loses any splice changes once it leaves the stack (for
- * example, when it's countered, it's exiled, or it resolves).
- * <p>
- * Rulings
- * <p>
- * You must reveal all of the cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each
- * individual card can only be spliced once onto a spell. If you have more than
- * one card with the same name in your hand, you may splice both of them onto
- * the spell. A card with a splice ability can't be spliced onto itself because
- * the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards
- * you want to splice onto it. The target for a card that's spliced onto a spell
- * may be the same as the target chosen for the original spell or for another
- * spliced-on card. (A recent change to the targeting rules allows this, but
- * most other cards are unaffected by the change.) If you splice a targeted card
- * onto an untargeted spell, the entire spell will be countered if the target
- * isn't legal when the spell resolves. If you splice an untargeted card onto a
- * targeted spell, the entire spell will be countered if the target isn't legal
- * when the spell resolves. A spell is countered on resolution only if *all* of
- * its targets are illegal (or the spell is countered by an effect).
