My take on an Advisor Lord. Stuff I considered but ended up not doing includes:

*Giving other Advisors Ward {1} or Ward {2/w} in addition to +1/+1.

*Making it a 3-cost 1/4, 1/3, or 0/4.

*Making the ability not count the Tribunal itself.

*Making it a dragon or lizard to make the name a pun.

I think you want 'each other Advisor...'.

Other than that, looks good. I'd love to see an Advisor deck. Though the idea of a bunch of advisors without someone to advise feels kind of weird. I also like the idea of an Advisor/Noble deck, where the Advisors do something for the Nobles, and the Nobles something for the Advisors.

Oh man... I just realized that Alexander Clamilton is a reasonable choice for an Advisor deck, depending on the Advisors you choose.

Another idea is removing "you control" from both abilities. If your opponent has any Advisors they can get the bonus too, but they also reduce the cost of your ability too.

I'll mention it just so someone else doesn't end up doing it. Wizards normally doesn't do that because most players will play the card wrong and not realize that it affects the opponent's creatures. There are other reasons why... I don't think it's worth spelling out how it could be perceived as less fun for some people. But I think the big reason why they don't do it is because they'd rather the cards did what people expected them to do.

That said, I think there's a time and a place to break every rule. Does it make sense to break it here? It is a cute give and take you bring up zzo. But even going that route, I'd still add "other advisors" to the second ability, since this card will (almost) never cost {10} to activate.

There we go, edited. Not sure why I didn't make it "each other" in the first place; it clearly occurred to me.

I like the Noble/Advisor synergy idea too; it's very flavorful. I can think of a few ideas for that...
