For me Xerath is one of the easiest mages to lane against as Swain.

Due to the cast time on Xerath's Q, it becomes a mind game if you can read when he's about to do it you can combo with Nevermove and punish him from there. Same goes for when Xerath uses his W. And Swain with a Negatron cloak and ult can negate the burst of Xerath.

I have yet to have problem against a Xerath during lane phase with Swain, in ranked or normal. Just keep harrassing him. Swain's mana sustain is higher than Xerath due to the nature of his passive.
