At {1}{W}{U} this legendary Human Advisor sits back with defender and four toughness, and rewards careful sequencing by gaining hexproof while untapped. The pairing of durable defense and conditional protection means Sokrates survives interaction that would otherwise remove a key engine, letting you steer the game from behind a solid wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe activated ability, Sokratic Dialogue, trades raw damage for card economy and political friction. Tap to grant a creature the replacement effect that prevents combat damage to a player and converts that prevented damage into card draw split between the attacking controller and the defending player rounded down. This creates repeatable value plays in multiplayer and a surprising stall tactic in one on one matches. If you build around patience and incremental advantage, Sokrates fits as a defensive commander or a toolbox piece in control shells. Add this Near Mint foil to your collection to emphasize both thematic flavor and tournament ready utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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's untapped.\n\nSokratic Dialogue — {T}: Until end of turn, target creature gains \"If this creature would deal combat damage to a player, prevent that damage.
