About Swans of Bryn Argoll

Swans of Bryn Argoll, Creature — bird spirit, designed by Eric Fortune first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadowmoor and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.98. It's a key card in 2 combos.

A control or tempo deck in Magic: the Gathering would benefit from using Swans of Bryn Argoll, as it provides a strong defensive option against damage-based removal while also potentially allowing the controller to draw cards. However, the card's high mana cost and vulnerability to non-damage-based removal make it less optimal compared to other options like Spellskite, which offers similar protection at a lower cost and with more flexibility. Swans of Bryn Argoll could see play in specific metagames or strategies that heavily rely on damage-based removal, but overall, it may not be a top-tier choice in competitive play.

Rules

If a creature with wither would deal damage to Swans of Bryn Argoll, that damage is treated just like any other damage. It’s prevented, and the creature’s controller draws cards. Swans of Bryn Argoll doesn’t get any -1/-1 counters.

05/01/08

If an ability is causing damage to be dealt, that ability will always identify the source of the damage. The ability itself is never the source. However, the source of the ability is often the source of the damage. For example, Knollspine Invocation’s ability says “Knollspine Invocation deals X damage to any target.”

The source of combat damage is the creature that deals it.
