This card is particularly strong in decks that can protect it from being removed easily and can take advantage of the card draw triggered by its damage.

Rules

11/10/20

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.

11/10/20

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