The art is mediocre at best, he's not worth his cost, he doesn't feel legendary at all, and he has bad flavor text. Reminds me of a Yu-Gi-Oh card. 1/5
And besides, ninjas are way cooler than pirates.

1) He's a mid-range first striker in blue and black because the color pie is his *****
2) He's a 4/3 for 6 because he doesn't need to be efficient to kick your ***
3) He's a pirate
4) He can kill most planeswalkers, and those he doesn't kill in his first swing can't kill him before his second.
5) He's not afraid of anything (Terror much?)
6) He untapped for free before it was cool.
7) We all know the Craw Wurm's ability to end a game in four turns for six mana is broken. Ramirez does the same thing in one more turn, and can take a Craw Wum in hand-to-hand combat without ill effect.

Also, he's illustrated by Phil Foglio, which is just gravy.
Unfortunately it seems there are now three planeswalkers that can fight Ramirez (Although one ends up trading and another turns him into a dragon). But this just goes to show how terrified WotC is of this guy's power. Why else would they crank out so many answers to him in such a short period of time?

Ramirez dePietro seems to be the most asked for 'joke Legend from Legends' that should have filled that slot for From the Vault Legends. My serious picks from the set would be Vaevictis Asmadi, or Angus Mackenzie. Maybe Hazezon Tamar. This guy is in the Top 5-10, though. He's a friggin PIRATE.

My Vorthos side first-struck my inner Spike when looking at this. A mysterious, flamboyant pirate with a Phil Foglio illustration? This guy is rockin' it old school.

Is he a Spaniard, an Italian or Frenchman?? Maybe he's an Italimaniard!! Either way, he's got 1 more hand than Captain James Hook had when he died and longer hair than Captain Jack Sparrow and if I'm not mistaken he's sailing the.. No, it can't be.. There's no way... BUT WAIT, it is.. The Black Pearl!! Don't let the grin fool you folks, he's a stone cold killer. Bet he even has a Goldenbook with his name on it!!
