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.
Scion of the Swarm would be a great addition to a black-white lifegain deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it benefits from gaining life by growing stronger with +1/+1 counters. However, there are potentially better cards for this strategy, such as Ajani's Pridemate or Serra Ascendant, which have more immediate impact on the board. Scion of the Swarm could still see play in a lifegain-focused deck, but its effectiveness may depend on the overall synergy and strategy of the deck.

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.

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.

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.
