I can't play Ranked because I have "banned/illegal cards" in my deck
TLDR: Pokemon TCG Live is not letting me use a fair deck that fits the Standard rules and shows cards as "banned"
Upon start-up of the Pokemon TCG Live client, it tells you that the card "Scoop Up Net" has been temporarily banned. I think nothing of it and go to play a round but my deck is somehow "not eligible" to be able to participate.
A few cards that are "banned" in my deck are the following:
- Zacian V
- Zamazenta V
- Bird Keeper
- Marnie
- Cape of Toughness
- Rotom
- Powerful (Normal) Energy
I don't understand why I can't use my deck during a game as well as some of those cards specifically. I was playing an hour prior to me re-logging back on using those exact same cards. My deck is 60/60 and doesn't contain "Scoop Up Net" which fits the Standard rules. Is this a bug?
Note: As a test, I copied my deck and removed the banned cards but when trying to search for them in my card library, none appeared. (Help please)

Same for me

in addition to what @TechHog said, all cards that have the "D" mark AND a newer one will stay in rotation

Unfortunately it looks like they rotated cards out before they rotated in the new cards. So today is going to be an intermediate state where we can't play a lot of things.
Rotation means all cards with the "D" mark in the lower-left will no longer be standard.
The scoop up net thing is not really related - just a "normal" PTCGL bug where it would put all cards attached into your hand as well (those are supposed to get discarded and only the Pokemon goes into your hand).

The developers accidentally implemented half of the standard rotation early. All the cards you mentioned are part of the D block, which will be rotating out of standard in three weeks. Live was meant to rotate today, with the release of Scarlet and Violet. It's pretty dumb.

Not entirely the situation here. They rotated out the 'D' cards but failed to rotate in the new S&V cards. So we are in an intermediate state right now. There are reprints of cards which are (today) not standard like Nest ball and Pokegear 3.0.
