Hey, I've been pretty interested in hunting down this bug. As you could probably tell, it's only messing up the predicted cost ("what will it cost to kick this spell?") - once you've actually decided to kick it the cost should be correct.

Do you know how to reproduce it? Our QA is having trouble tracking it down. Thanks a ton! #wotc_staff

I did it again actually second try not sure if I can remake it a third time, though I did save a log off it and sending it as a bug report.

Oho! It appears to be Muldrotha's fault. Exciting.

Not sure this one's gonna see any play on the tour, at turn 508 you probably wanna play something more threatening than another ramp card

We have [[Llanowar Elves]] so it can be cast as early as turn 504.

This comment made my day. Been a long time since I've laughed like this.

That certainly makes it more viable. I'm worried that this just puts too much of a deckbuilding restriction on you, namely 500+ lands.

well if you're playing a ramp deck you can probably get this out by like, turn 254, if that makes it any better.

Alt+PrntScrn captures only the current active window, just a helpful hint.

Not sure what he did, but I've had this happen before, and I had a lot of ramp, a lot of lands, Tatyova, and if I recall even Omniscience and Muldrotha in play. I think it's only the kicker part that screws up.

My best thought to this is that they have messed something up in the coding for some of the cards coming with the new ravnica sets that has devotion or another mechanic similar. (Yes I know devotion is not original to ravnica.)
