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

Nov 10, 2020

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

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.
