Owned players first, market second
SBC Pilot starts by trying to solve the challenge with eligible owned cards from your chosen source mode. Market Scout is meant for the gap that remains when those safe owned cards cannot satisfy the challenge requirements and chemistry target.
Searches built around the challenge
Scout builds market searches around the current SBC's structural needs and useful chemistry links instead of treating the Transfer Market as a random card list. The goal is to find buyable cards that can actually help the active challenge.
Smaller purchase plans are tested before a full rebuild
For supported chemistry SBCs, the purchase-minimizing flow checks one-card, two-card and three-card repair plans before allowing a full-market rebuild fallback. A structural possibility is not enough by itself; the displayed Auto Buy plan must pass the chemistry verification step.
Market Scout does not make a failed plan look valid
If the current bounded market sample cannot produce a chemistry-verified solution, SBC Pilot keeps automatic buying locked. A cheap structural candidate is not presented as a completed plan just because it satisfies some non-chemistry requirements.
Blocked players remain blocked
Cards you manually block stay excluded from solver and fallback logic. Market Scout is used to find alternatives instead of silently reintroducing a blocked owned card.
