Couldn't Cast Spell only option was Cycling
I was in my pre-combat main phase wanting to cast a Hill Gigas a 5/4 creature with Trample and Haste that cost 4RR. However The game would not allow me the option of casting it, only using it's mountaincycling ability. As can be seen in the screen shot, the cast option is blacked out. Even though you can see that I have the six mana in my mana pool available to cast the creature spell. I proceeded through to my post-combat phase with exact same issue. I wouldn't mind except this was during a quick draft event that I paid money for to acquire the gems needed for the event and would like a refund on the event cost. Also please fix the bug.

Seems like there was a trigger on the stack, so you did not fulfil the default timing restrictions for casting a creature spell: When it is your main phase, you have priority, and the stack is empty. All you had to do was let the trigger resolve. You would not have lost the mana, since the phase does not end just becasue the stack becomes empty.
