Bug Fixes

Cards

• Fixed an issue where Mega Audino ex’s (ASC #172) Kaleidowaltz attack would initiate an unnecessary deck search when all 3 coin flips landed on tails.
• Fixed an issue where the match became unresponsive for both players if Boomerang Energy (TWM #166) was attached to Slowking (SCR #058) when its Seek Inspiration attack was used to copy Annihilape’s (SSP #100) Destined Fight attack.
• Fixed an issue where the option to discard Antique Jaw Fossil (POR #068) from play was disabled while it was on the player’s Bench.
• Fixed an issue where using Vivillon’s (POR #009) Grand Wing Ability while it was in the Active Spot would allow damage from its Blow Through attack to be unaffected by Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex’s (TWM #112) Cornerstone Stance Ability.

General

• Fixed an issue where the Owned and Rarest Owned deck import settings did not consistently import unowned copies of cards from the deck list.
• Various other fixes and polish.
