X Spell CMC

I've noticed what may be a typo or maybe something that was done on purpose, I'm not sure. But it seems it be with most (I haven't checked them all, but everyone I have checked this is true) X spells on this site. The CMC is always one more than it should be.

I know you would almost never play Devil's PlayMTG Card: Devil's Play for X = 0, but that doesn't mean the spell's CMC is 2. In the strictest sense, it can be an issue for players searching for Transmute targets and other CMC based tutors. You can Dizzy SpellMTG Card: Dizzy Spell into Devil's PlayMTG Card: Devil's Play but you can't PerplexMTG Card: Perplex into Apocalypse HydraMTG Card: Apocalypse Hydra. But it also alters the mana curve chart when deck building (whether for better or worse is debatable) and could confuse newer players.

Just thought someone should know. :-)
