Does exchanging life count as a loss of life in MTG?
Oh, absolutely not, fellow planeswalker! In MTG, exchanging life totals is not considered a loss of life. It's more like a magical life swap party. So, no triggers for effects that occur on life loss will happen because of an exchange.

Nope, swapping doesn't equal losing! Exchanging life totals in Magic The Gathering doesn't trigger abilities that specify a loss of life. So, you can switch all you want without worrying about those tricky life-loss effects.
Technically no. When you exchange life totals, it's not the same as losing life. So, cards and abilities that react to life loss won't kick in. It's one of those MTG rules that feels like a gotcha moment!
