These spoilers could just take a randomly placed sixth, card-shaped space during a pull. This idea frustrates the automated card junking system, which would hopefully make sifting through puppets a slog, while leaving the average user unaffected. As an added monetization benefit, this would be an ideal space for user-generated ads, like we currently see with mass telegram stamps.

As a single nation I dont use scripts or such, therefore I dont know exactly how they work, but if those so-called illegitimate cards are undetectable by scripts (seen as real cards) and therefore storable and collectable, I´d say they only provide a new option for new collections (and they would be collected by some for sure), thus failing their meant purpose imo.

I was imagining they wouldn't be collectible at all, just transient text /image links that would create problems for scripts when indiscriminately clicked on.
Something like this, but designed well and not like garbage.
