Not really "bug topic" material, but a fun error

I went a little crazy casting Time Spiral/Twister and High Tide over and over. The deck is actually T1 legal, although technically I won the game prior to this by casting Tendrils for some 40 life, but thanks to the rules I could keep playing until the phase ended.

Anyway, that error kept popping up, but letting me continue until I lost the game casting Ancestral Recall on myself. I don't think I had only 1-2 cards left in my deck, but lol anyway.

Not a problem that needs to be fixed, unless this just serves as a warning that adding more cards may take up space and force this error upon us sooner, but really, if you can legally cast High Tide a dozen times and not get a game over, you really should consider adding a win condition to your deck. Just thought I'd post this seperately because it's kinda funny.

I've seen this happen in a few different cases. One is if your hand has more than (I think) 50 cards. Another is when casting a spell with an absolutely massive 'X' number, or a spell that does a lot of things (like whimsy for a zillion or traumatize on a 500 card deck). Having a ton of mana in your pool (like 100+ or something) also causes this. There's probably a few other cases I forgot now, but they're generally microprose's fault, since they happened in the original game, too.

Sometimes weird things start happening, or else nothing happens. I've seen spells start doing nothing, my library suddenly disappear (and lose the game), or other strangeness, after seeing the message in your screenshot.
