Can't use search Cards and stuck at starting phase

I can't use search cards. When I use a search card the deck is completely blank (there are shadows of cards in the background), this makes it impossible for me to fetch something.

Sometimes when I start a match and I draw my starting hand, one or more cards gets stuck in the air which makes unable to do anything. After waiting a short while the game stopwatch starts ticking, and I am forced to concede to get out the game. After the game I sometimes get stuck at a white screen forcing me to close the game.

All this started happening to me after I uninstalled the old PTCGO client. I am currantly on a 12 game loss streak due to bugs; it's mildly annoying.

    I've heard that sometimes recreating the deck from scratch, no importing, just adding all of the cards from your collection into a new deck manually will resolve this.

    Does it happen when you're testing a deck instead of playing Ranked or Casual too?

    Unfortunately also having the no cards at search issue. At the start I had both of these issues but the game not starting stopped happening, then I had a while where it worked mostly, the search bug only appeared rarely. Since yesterday the search bug has been happening constantly
