v1.1.1 Issue Discovered: Illegal Cards in Standard Play
We're aware of an issue in which players are able to use decks including cards that are not Standard legal in Standard format queues. We're currently investigating the issue and exploring a fix. We appreciate your patience.

Just an honest question: what is going on over there? Inquiring minds desperately want to know. We all tried to stay positive at first, but this is beyond absurd at this point. We players don't want to be negative, mean, or nasty or any of this, but it's coming out because of the lack of communication, and the incessant problems this beta has faced. This is supposed to be the future of the Pokémon Card Game, but right now that future is looking dark enough to make a black hole jealous.

Well just play expanded till the fix comes. It's better than standard anyways. Nobody plays the beta thus having a month of expanded as main isn't really a bad idea.

Let me summarize the bug if you are having trouble with the forum.
Your deck needs to be
- 7 standard legal cards
- 53 non-implemented cards
Non-implemented cards include
- All BW-era cards without later reprints
- XY-era cards that are banned from expanded
The auto-win occurs because you draw all seven legal cards in your opening hand and cannot put out prize cards. Then the game ends in a victory because you have zero prizes remaining.
If two auto-win decks face off it results in an infinite sudden death loop.

i know the setup, I just can’t type it out so that it accepts my comment. @TPCi_CursedSoup @TPCi_CursedSoup @TPCi_CursedSoup

I tried this and can confirm that you win instantly after set-up concludes.
You draw your opening hand - all 7 legal cards in your deck - but you don't place any prize cards since there are no legal or coded cards left in your deck.
As soon as set-up concludes you win since you have no prize cards left.
There didn't seem to be many people doing this on ladder but it's being discussed online so is bound to spread rapidly.

It would be really nice if there were some consequences for people knowingly cheating in the game. There would be if it were IRL play. Just because an exploit exists doesn’t make it ok to use it. The game is currently unplayable, so let’s hope it’s fixed soon.

It's a beta - I don't think that blame for bugs should be placed on the players.
There was clearly a quick and untested fix applied to try to make POGO cards legal in Standard which simply broke the entire ladder. That's on the developers and the consequences should not be shifted to the players.

So.... Are people going to get punished for using the exploit? I instantly lost about 5 games so far because of this. It was rather frustrating auto losing two games in a row in ranked. It's pretty obvious the players using this are either trying to cheat their way to the top, or just griefing. It's not like this can happen on accident, the intent is clearly there. We don't need toxic behavior like this in the community.

@Alphachan I highly doubt that they have a way of checking that, unfortunately. This is why we need a reporting system...
