Body of Knowledge's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your hand. You have no maximum hand size. Whenever this creature is dealt damage, draw that many cards.

Creatures may be dealt damage greater than their toughness. For example, if Body of Knowledge is a 3/3 creature and a source deals 5 damage to it, you'll draw five cards. Note that if Body of Knowledge is dealt lethal damage, it dies before the cards are drawn, meaning they won't raise Body of Knowledge's toughness in time to save it.

The ability that defines Body of Knowledge's power and toughness applies in all zones, not just the battlefield.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
