Trickster gods on the altar?

Please excuse my ignorance, l'm not pagan but I am a budding anthropologist and I was speaking to a lovely man today who shared that sometimes trickster gods are good for throwing wrenches in your plans and preventing one from becoming self inflated. I tried to look up more on this but only saw negative posts about why you should avoid tricksters. So I was curious about what yall thought. Why do you have tricksters on your altar, (ifyou do)? Should others?
