About Scion of the Swarm

Scion of the Swarm, Creature — vampire cleric, designed by Ekaterina Burmak first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 10.85.

This card would benefit a Black-White lifegain deck, as it synergizes well with gaining life to grow stronger. While Scion of the Swarm is a decent choice for this theme, a potentially better card could be Ajani's Pridemate, which also benefits from lifegain but can grow larger more quickly. Whether Scion of the Swarm should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it's being considered for.

Rules

09/25/20

Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, a “whenever you gain life” ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.

09/25/20

If you gain life at the same time Scion of the Swarm is dealt lethal damage, it dies before its ability can put a +1/+1 counter on it.

09/25/20

In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won’t cause the ability to trigger, even though it caused your team’s life total to increase.
