Can't cast spell with flashback by paying 'evidence 10' with Conspiracy Unraveler
If you have Conspiracy Unraveler out, I believe you should be able to cast a flashback spell with the alternate 'collect evidence 10' cost (gatherer page for Conspiracy Unraveler even mentions casting a flashback spell using it).
However, the game does not allow this. If you try, it will simply ask you pay the regular cost.
Steps to reproduce:
- Have a spell with flashback in your graveyard.
- Conspirace Unraveler on the battlefield
- Other cards having combined CMC of more than 10 in graveyard
- Try to cast flashback spell.
I attached image 'Otherworldlyflashbackalt.PNG', I am attempting to cast Otherwordly Gaze with flashback, and even though the cards in my graveyard (image 'Otherworldly_graveyard.PNG'have combined CMC of more than 10), I am asked to pay the regular 1U cost.
In image 'Lierflashbackalt.PNG', I have Lier, Disciple of the Drowned on the battlefield, which should allow me to cast Breach the Multiverse from my graveyard, but again I am asked to pay the regular casting cost.

I misread Unraveler, based on your images you should be able to cast the Breach, as you have 10 mana of cards in your graveyard.

Seems the bug is in Gatherer, as rule 118.9 covers this.

Hmm, how come Gatherer says this then: "If you are casting a spell from your graveyard (for example, a spell with flashback) you can’t also exile that card to pay the alternative collect evidence cost offered by Conspiracy Unraveler."
This seems to say that you can, you just can't use the same card to pay for the alternate cost.

Flashback is an alternative casting cost, and so is the Conspiracy Unravlers. You can only pick one to apply when casting a spell.
