I understand how it's confusing. Technically, your deck is 52 cards. You take your flag and buddy out of your in the beginning of a game. You are allowed five copies of only one card in the deck and that card must be your buddy. Let's say you want Drum as your buddy, but instead of running five copies, you run four and one of My Buddy. You take out a Drum as your buddy at the start and now you have three Drums and one My Buddy in the deck, which is legal.

Now it is the next game in the match and you now want Jack to be your buddy, which you also play four of, for some reason. You take Jack out at the beginning of this round to be your buddy instead of Drum. Now your deck now has four Drum, one My Buddy, and three Jacks, so your deck is still legal. If you had used five Drums instead, your deck would have had five Drums and three Jacks, which is illegal. My Buddy is always at one copy and never the buddy.

Of course, this is all in theory, as I have never performed it nor have I seen it performed and have no clue on current rulings involving this card. Did you follow that?
