Some VERY interesting flavor text on this card, although it's CMC is too high for effective use...

With his flavor text, it would probably have been better to give him the creature type 'Rebel' instead of 'Advisor'.

I'd rather run an additional swamp in his place. They aren't legendary, and they don't share the vulnerabilities of creatures. Legends sucked.

Sounds like someone's been reading too much Ayn Rand.

Great flavor text, though this guy's random ability doesn't seem to have much to do with it. Of course, anyone who is 5/7 creature can create all sorts of violence, so the ability doesn't really matter.

This guy must be ridiculously buff.
He can punch out a dragon without taking a fatal blow. That's got to be worth some points.

Even better, he's actually not very far below the curve for blue OR black.
7 CMC for a 5/7 with an ability that isn't a drawback is okay, considering that for 1 less mana, blue still gets guys that can't attack most of the time.

Black/blue's answer to the devastating llanowar elves

This cards creates some Hamlet doubts...
To attack with a 5/7 or to add Black? That is the problem!
But for seven mana, the answer is simple: play something else!

Ah, Riven Turnbull. Just because you use big thought-out speech doesn't mean I am going to slot you into a random deck any day soon.

With that inflammatory speech of his, this guy should have the ability to tutor anarchists and anarchy itself.
