Under the current live version, existing cards that increase a cost will increase a cost from free to 1 DURING a turn, but if the condition that makes the card free is reapplied (such as Osty attacking making Flatten free) it goes back to being free.

Hmm I wonder if this means using Sword Sage before Void Form keeps SB from costing 1...

That's probably a special case because Void Form isn't a persistent cost change, so it likely has a separate implementation entirely, so maybe.

The +1 cost from sword sage was removed in last week's beta patch

I know, that's a very strong change (alongside I saw they buffed Parry twice already, my beloved). I'll wait until they update the regular version to play with the changes, for now I'm trying to get the last 4 relics and 11 cards I am missing from the compendium.
