Body of Knowledge Rulings

  • Nov 10, 2020

    As long as Body of Knowledge is in your hand, its ability will count itself.

  • Nov 10, 2020

    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.

  • Nov 10, 2020

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