Banned standard deck cards?
Why am I not able to use some of my decks in standard play? It says banned cards but I haven’t had this problem before. Is it because of the new update?

With this update, Standard went through a rotation. All cards with an E in the lower-left corner are no longer standard legal. This is not a bug. You'll need to make new decks. Going forward, you should actually read the in-game news instead of mashing through it.

As @TechHog said, standard rotation happens 2 weeks (and 1 day) earlier in Live, so all E block cards (BST-FST) rotated out of standard, you can still use these cards at in-person events until EUIC. Rotation happens annually (typically around the second Internationals of the season) to keep the game fresh. If you need help, I plan on posting some of my lists soon.

Here's a topic for posting your lists (I said I would make my own topic for this in a post that needs reviewed, but then I found this)

Kinda lame.
No need to block cards.
My custom deck isn't good anymore.
Expanded beta seems to let you play the cards.
Hopefully a error. Hopefully they can correct this.
Still like a mode with rules and still collect crystals. Still collect crystals and money playing with friends would be nice...

I agree banning a mass set of cards is lame. My deck is ruined, the one simple card I had that could stop the chien pao + baxcalibur EXTREMELY broken combo is now banned… but that combo that is totally OP and a broken mechanic is NOT banned somehow??? Game would be so much better if the broken combos were actually banned & not just random large swathes of cards.

Rotation isn't banning. Old cards leave Standard. That's the difference between Standard and Expanded. If you can't accept that rotation is a thing that will happen every year, you have to stick to Expanded. It's simple as that.
Also, calling Chien-Pao ex broken is hilarious. It's super mid. It's better now thanks to Iron Hands ex, but if you're struggling this hard against it your deck is probably just bad.

@TechHog if you could read I stated the combo of chien + baxcalibur is broken. A card that lets you attach as many energy from your hand any time you want + the plethora of cards that allow you to have energy in your hand & recycle used energy to your hand is broken.
it’s a silly kids game that just takes the best combo cards to win anyways so glad my son isn’t that interested. I’ll teach him some games that take some actual skill instead of card draw luck & broken combos.0
