What's a cut card, how is it used, and what is it's purpose (what's it's advantage)?

A cut-card is just a piece of plastic in the shape of a card.
You put it on the table, put the top half of the deck on top of it, and the bottom half on top of that. Now you've cut the deck, but there's a solid red card on the bottom, instead of the 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
The main reason
I use it is to ensure that I can't accidently flash the bottom of the deck to a player. (Called "rolling the deck".) But it also prevents cheating. You can't bottom-deal if the bottom is a sheet of plastic. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Cut-cards are basically free;
stores sell them for cheap. I use a red one and a yellow one with our two decks, because you can wave them in the air when one player slide-tackles another. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
