"I have a job and two kids. I cannot spend 300 hours grinding AI matches just to build a single deck. I paid $70 for the game. Let me play the game I want to play. If I want to make a joke deck with 16 PGs, why should the game stop me?" For solo players, the new “Story Mode+” features

This camp views the trainer not as cheating, but as a tool to bypass predatory monetization. They argue that if Bushiroad sold a "Unlock All Cards" DLC for $20, nobody would need Tenoke. Since Bushiroad refuses, the modders stepped in.

Bushiroad has a notorious history with DLC. The first Dear Days required four major season passes costing roughly $70 each to unlock all anime decks.
