A 0\/4 legendary Human Advisor with Defender, he anchors the backline while denying targeted removal when he is untapped thanks to hexproof. The presence of Sokrates changes combat math; opponents must rethink attacks and tempo when a single tap can convert combat into resource exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe activated ability, Sokratic Dialogue, trades damage for card velocity in a way a practiced pilot can exploit. Tap a blocker or a key attacker and turn potential life loss into shared draws, half the damage rounded down. In limited and commander Sokrates rewards timing and restraint, letting you convert incoming threats into long game fodder while preserving a fortress body. Add this Near Mint English copy from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed to a control list and leverage its synergy with blink, untap, and tap-utility effects. Consider pairing with life buffers and effects that increase combat damage to amplify card draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMana Cost\u003c\/b\u003e – {1}{W}{U}\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Type\u003c\/b\u003e – Legendary Creature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSubtypes\u003c\/b\u003e – Human Advisor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Text \/ Rules Text (Printed)\u003c\/b\u003e – Defender  \nSokrates, Athenian Teacher has hexproof as long as it is untapped.  \nSokratic Dialogue — {T}: Until end of turn, target creature gains \"If this creature would deal combat damage to a player, prevent that damage.
