It's true that the buddy can have tactical significance, isn't it? For example I wanted to use Asmodai as my Magic buddy, but as the deck's main counter to soulguard and size 3s I can't just call him as I like... so Buer became my buddy.

Ideally your buddy is card that you'll absolutely call, and call quickly.
