UPDATE: Downtime has concluded and the Pokémon TCG Live game client is now back online and once again accessible to players.
While all Patch Notes-related changes were successfully implemented, we are aware of an issue in which decks containing unowned cards may occasionally appear as valid within the Deck Manager and be subsequently set as an Active Deck. These decks are still correctly prevented from being used upon attempting to enter matchmaking, but doing so is currently resulting in players being shown a Server Error message.
The team is actively working to resolve this issue, and we will provide an update once available.
Thank you for your patience at this time.
