Friend of a Friend is definitely overpowered right now, but it's so easy to nerf it so you can't abuse it with Brann, it's sad that they're just removing one of the coolest minions they've ever made instead of just nerfing it IMO.
Problem is a lot of battlecry buddies generate a lot of board value while most passive/end of turn buddies are just useless come tier 6. So with brann and one FoaF you could get quad or nonad buddy battlecries.
Even if you nerf FoaF to not be a battlecry itself issue remains that his discover pool is just battlecry / garbage.
Actually nerfing it, to however, would still result in "who got lucky", and who can cycle more of these to continue spiking beyond normal, so removing it is necessary.
The real problem is like this -
I know you Could find 3 chefs into 3 golden dongs outta nowhere, so I can strategize around it, even as a 'just in case'.
But, I have no and cannot have any idea what a Single FoF would get you, and while even if it's a single buddy, you get cards you shouldn't have access to.
Even if you remove the baytlecry And discover and get one per FoF (i.e. with or without Brann), and just cycle 2-3 of these, I'm supposed to do what, GUESS that you'd find +50/+50, an Ice block, and/or an N'Zoth's goldening buddy for your Buster?
It was stupid the first time I got it (and won), it is stupid now. It ain't cool beyond the first couple of laughs - for OR against, and what's worse it's subject to highrolling specific buddies, some of which would be OP even as 6ers.
This wasn't the first time a stupid op thing was in the game, and those lasted a good long while, maybe they are just trying to be "better", but I'd say they should've given this a couple weeks before doing anything. Even though yes, the issue is they turned what was a fun variety hour of all the classes doing different things, into... they are now all going for tier 6 FOF/Dong fiestas. It was a no brainer to just not allow tickatus' buddy into the pool, but they didn't do that, not sure why the devs are reacting as if FOF's power level was unexpected.

Actually really disappointing.
