Sokrates, Athenian Teacher
Oracle Text
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."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Sokrates, Athenian Teacher fits cleanly into a white-blue control or tempo shell, where his sturdy 0/4 body buys time while his untapped hexproof makes him annoyingly difficult to answer outside of combat or sweepers. The “Socratic Dialogue” ability is especially clever in multiplayer or political decks: you can point it at an opponent’s biggest attacker to blunt a lethal swing, or even at your own creature when you want to turn combat damage into card parity instead of life loss. Because the effect cares about combat damage to a player, cards that grant menace, evasion, or extra combat steps can turn his ability into a strange form of bargaining rather than raw aggression. He also pairs well with vigilance or tap-untap support, since keeping him untapped preserves hexproof while allowing repeated use if you can untap him. Build around patient resource exchange, not racing.
