         No. Swans' ability is a replacement effect. Your best bet is to name Seismic Assault since SA has an activated ability.

         so path or wrath is about the only way to deal with swans beside removing the seismic assault

         Anything that gets rid of it except damage will work. If you have an Everlasting Torment in play, Swans' prevention effect turns off.
