Direct Challenge not working with new update
Most recent update rendered direct challenge impossible. The deck selection screen is bugged out and won't let you choose an appropriate deck for your format. For example, we want to play brawl but it's only letting us choose standard legal decks.

I've been with this problem for months and here nobody solves anything, I can't play with my friends and when I report this problem they send me to this thread as if that would solve it, I want a solution now

At first I thought I was building my deck improperly, but after a hour or two of trial and error with a friend we realized the coding has changed since the update. Before we where able to load any deck against almost any deck. Now I assume MTGA attempted to change that. Well it has caused a much worse problem. We cant even play most formats together. All the error messages state is things like "3 invalid cards" when I look at the deck none of the cards are actually invalid(I tested this same error with several deck lists). Sometimes it will seem like we are getting into a match, but then the loading screen will stay up forever and I'm forced to quit the application.

Why can't I play my historic decks with my friends?? Standard sucks!

I can't play with anything besides standard either. When I go to choose a deck, and click edit, it says that the deck is supposed to be standard and isn't legal. Looking at it in deck builder shows it as the type it should be. My friends don't even play standard so I can't play with them at all

Brawl decks are also invalid... even if you do a Brawl challenge. So if you direct challenge someone to Friendly Brawl, it will only let you select Standard (non-Brawl) decks, and then the challenge will fail because you have selected an invalid deck.

this is definitely broken again. Can only pick standard legal decks.

This is a topic from 1 year ago, the last few months I could play Historic by Direct Challenge, but after the "update server moving" not anymore, we should open a new ticket since this is too old and it was fixed (it just happen that it triggered again the ****** bug)?

This issue is still occurring as of 7th September and is very frustrating for my playgroup who run a weekly limited tournament.
In addition selecting 'Best of 3' still only plays a Best of 1 match. Please fix!

Sounds like I am having a similar issue. If I direct challenge with any setting, the only decks coming up to select are the new decks that with the set rotation.
This occurs even if I challenge with Brawl and they are not brawl decks...

Happening to me too - all my historic decks are showing invalid card counts in direct challenge because for some reason it's forcing my deck types all standard...

Was trying to play Historic Brawl with a friend but when selecting a deck the Brawl decks were not available.

I've noticed for me the problem happens with the new modern horizons cards. I've been able to direct challenge friends for historic though using the 40 card format and still using these cards.

Their forums say you can still use any deck so long as it's 60 cards. What good are banned cards if you can't use them in casual play? ROFL.

as soon as I accept direct challenge all my decks auto switch to Standard Format even though I have them all set to historic, so still an issue
