I play a deck in expanded mode. I know a lot of these cards aren't allowed in standard mode, but TCG live is banning them/ making them illegal to use. I looked up the banned card list, and none of these cards are on the list. For example: Tag Team Reshiram & Charizard GX.

    Cards from before Sword and Shield aren't legal in standard. That includes all GX cards and all cards without a regulation mark.

    Standard uses a set rotation, cards released in 2019 and before are not legal (In april this will change to cards released in 2020 and before).

    I had the two backwards. My point was I can't fully play with any of the cards on either of the modes.

    You have to have Expanded beta selected before you go into the deck editor.

    I've tried it both ways. And under decks you can toggle between the two styles in the upper left.

    Are you sure the deck only had cards from Sun and Moon-on? XY and BW cards don't work yet.

    So XY and BW will in the future? I did have some of those cards. Then I had noticed that when I imported the deck, it used other cards with the same name. So I had to switch out a few cards.

    They'll be added after all of the major bugs are fixed so they can focus on that... So, probably 5-10 years at this rate lol
