Four source modes
Why this matters for SBC value
Different players want different trade-offs. Sometimes you want to clear SBC Storage first; other times you want to use a wider Club + Storage pool to improve the chance of reaching rating, chemistry and structural requirements without going to the market.
Blocked-player protection still applies
Your source selection does not override manually blocked players. SBC Pilot keeps blocked cards out of candidate pools and does not reuse them through Market Scout or fallback logic.
Ownership checks
Before a solved squad is treated as ready, SBC Pilot validates that selected owned cards are available from the supported Club repository and verified SBC Storage source. This helps avoid building a solution around a card that is not actually available to the solver.
If owned cards are not enough
When the combined safe owned pool still cannot finish a supported challenge, you can move to Market Scout to look for missing buyable players. Guarded Auto Buy remains separate and only unlocks for a verified displayed plan.
