Deck Search freezes game

I have tried on mobile (XR, iOS16.3.1), M1 iPad Pro (iPadOS 16.3.1) and M1 MacBook Air - all have the same issue where the game appears fine but playing a card which lets you search the contents of you deck freezes the game. It shows the black overlay to denote it’s in “deck search mode”, it has the toggle for valid cards and the whole deck, but it doesn’t display any cards on either. There is no interface that I can see to fail the search and resume with the game, nor concede, meaning the only resolution is to close/quit the application. I would love to be playing ranked, but there’s little point with the game in this state.

I have a suspicion that a certain card is bugged out and causing deck searches to act unpredictably. This suspicion comes from when I first encountered the issue, playing a different deck would work fine, but the one I want to play bugs out.
