Defender
Sokrates has hexproof as long as it's untapped.
Sokratic Dialogue — {T}: Until end of turn, target creature gains "If this creature would deal combat damage to a player, prevent that damage. This creature's controller and that player each draw half that many cards, rounded down."
rulings
- 2024-07-05If damage dealt by a creature with the ability granted by Sokrates's last ability can't be prevented for some reason, the appropriate players will still draw half that many cards, rounded down. (This won't come up often, but the unexamined ability is not worth activating.)
