Oracle Text

If 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.)

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.
