v76 Update: MD-CL Format, Deck UX Upgrades, New Server
Features:
- Added 2011 (MD–CL) format to Quickplay! 2011 pre-rotation format (Majestic Dawn - Call of Legends) was played for months during the 2010-2011 season and was used for several Nationals formats outside of the US. Due to the mid-season rotation to BLW-on before US Nationals and Worlds, the MD-CL format was cut short. Decks like Vileplume/Gengar and Magnezone/Regirock make this a unique format.
