I think they will have to hit Monstrous Rage, that feels obvious. But beyond that, I personally think to re-balance the entire format and prevent the next deck running away with it, they need to also hit Cori Steel-Cutter, Stormchaser's Talent, and one of Abuela's Awakening or Omniscience. Up the Beanstalk and This Town Ain't Big Enough don't rise to the same level and feel more like enablers to lots of other decks.
I think Vivi is another insane, over the top, does-to-much card that wins the game on turn 4, but we will need to wait and see with that because nothing in the FF set will get touched.
The issue with Beans is that it becomes a must-play in pretty much every midrange/late game deck because of how much advantage it creates. And with it being so easy to trigger with the Overlords it's only really being held back by Aggro being insanely overpowered right now
Beans is insane, but rotation might fix that deck. Overlord Beans will still be a deck, but you lose Leyline Binding, and Ride's End isn't close to being a replacement.
I could see Beans being banned, but I think I would be willing to see what it does post-rotation first.
