Some discussion: do you think he should be restricted? Not saying he should be - but he is one of those cards that will get better and better the larger the card pool becomes. I could certainly see it happening at some point.
He's a card that can have a place in almost any deck, certainly one that has any meaningful support cards. That said he has weaknesses too. I think he's pretty balanced and not overly powerful. I don't think ubiquity demands restriction.
I think you're right with that assessment. The common place of snow graves also is an easy counter anyone can use.
Personally, I think Snow Graves should have had Steadfast icons on it, or else been a neutral if that's what they intended.

Anyway, Jamburg is a good character but I don't see him as overpowered currently. If we ever start seeing more really powerful high-priced non-Relic support cards, he may need to go on the Restricted list though. But right now he's just good, and a lot of characters can claim that power level.
