Done [Suggestion] Change card line format to Live's/Official(?) format

(expanded suggestion from An Assortment of Things LZI Would Like)
The Play TCG! Deckbuilder's Import/Export tab says this:
Paste a deck list below, or copy this export. Accepts Limitless-style lines (4 Abomasnow sv10-60), bare card ids, or a JSON id array.
However, when exporting a deck from the Limitless Deckbuilder to text, it is exported in Live format (4 Abomasnow DRI 60), which Play TCG! doesn't accept (even though Unreal Bot did and still does on the main PS! server with only incorrect category headers!)
When attempting to import decks from past generations, they get replaced with the most recent card of the same name, and one would have to manually find and revert all affected cards. This isn't much of a problem for Trainers and Energies, as they largely stay the same across sets and generations, but a HUGE problem for Pokémon. It is also just quite annoying, and defeats the purpose of using Limitless to build decks while Play TCG!'s builder is brought to a more-than-kinda-bad state. I would like the ability to import Live-style lines... or if that's not currently possible, then remove that LIE in the Import/Export tab,and I'll just deal with it I guess...

(Also, I did consider the possibility that the format IS accepted and just pulls the most recent card for whatever reason HOWEVER. In one of my decks, an imported Ho-Oh-EX from the BW era became a Ho-Oh ex from... TCG Pocket. So, yeah. Nevermind. Energy seems to be unaffected though.)

this should be fixed, can you try importing a deck and see if it works?
 
checked this myself, it appears to work now assuming you're on the right tab (the other one naturally shows the id)
Please let us know if you're still experiencing this
