Comment by Necrachilles#97945 worked for me, more or less, thank you. We were trying to play with a (seemingly corrupted) starter deck. Exported it, removed one empty line that was at the bottom of the deck, and added it as a new custom deck that actually allowed us to play me connect. In fact only my deck was corrupted, not my friend's.

First match with friend worked but once we tried different decks this error occurred; reusing the same decks as the first match allowed us to play.

Running into the same issue with a friend. He gets the “unable to submit deck” error when we try to start a friendly game. The error occurs with even the starter decks and regardless of match type. We’re both able to start games with random strangers, it’s only the friendly matches that are broken.

Same issue, error -unable to submit deck. This comes up challenging through a friends invitation or with a direct challenge. The purpose of this game is playing with friends, if we can't play together I'm not buying virtual decks

I have the same issue, we are not sure if it's because my friend is using a MAC book and I have windows or what is the issue but I opened a new account and the issue persist using all basic decks that come with the game. The error is always unable to submit deck.

I just wanted to pop in here in case anyone stumbles across this in a search to fix this (I'm sure uncommon) error.
The fix (or the most likely fix) is simply to export your deck list, paste it in notepad (or anywhere you can see it) and then remove any 'ghost cards'. The appear as "[Card Name] x0", or you can create unique decks from scratch.
It seems to generally be an issue when you 'clone' one of the starter decks as they have the 'ghost' cards within their deck list as each is removed/upgraded while you're playing the challenges.
This problem plagued my dreams for a couple days but hopefully this helps those that find it :)

unable to play with a friend.
I always get an error, either the deck is not valid (even though it is) or the game options are not the same with my friend and I. when I then click "play" nothing happens; trying to leave the game doesn't actually work -

1. Give us the steps to reproduce the bug
I get the error message "Network Error - unable to submit deck. Please try again later". This applies to any deck, any deck setting (historic, traditional, etc.) ONLY when I try to direct-match with friends. I am still able to match with randos.2. Note which platform you’re using (PC, Mac, Android, or iOS)
Windows PC3. Enter the actual results you’re experiencing
Not able to join a direct match with the above error being displayed.
Direct challenge --> select deck --> challenge --> error code4. Enter the expected results of the feature
Um, no error code? I should be able to direct-challenge friends5. Add any relevant screenshots/videos
Attached screenshot of error thrown.6. If you found a workaround, please add workaround steps.
No workarounds found. -

I have the same issue, I didnt get jumpstart but everything Ive earned before current standard rotation is now unplayable against friends, even though everyone Ive tried seems to be able to choose anything they want to play against me.
Im on Mac but have spoken to people with the same issue on PC and mobile -

so we found a work and this is specifically challenging people on your friends list to historic brawl, the work around is to select direct challenge from the top righjt, and then in the drop down menu select historic brawl and select your deck you want to play with, then close out of that menu so that the historic brawl deck is selected, then open friends list and click direct challenge, select deck type friendly brawl and challenge. This process should be easier by just selecting the deck from the challenge menu from your friends list
