[RPG] Does Yuan-Ti Magic Resistance provide advantage for concentration saving throws, where spell damage was the cause

The Yuan-ti Pureblood's Magic Resistance racial trait (VGtM, p. 120) provides:

advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects

I'm clear on that.

If I'm concentrating on a spell and take damage, I need to do a Constitution saving throw to see if the damage breaks my concentration.

Does the Yuan-ti racial ability allow me to do this saving throw with advantage if the damage was spell/magical?

Best Answer

No

The Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration is caused by the damage - not the effect that caused the damage.

Similarly, your death saving throws wouldn’t have advantage if the damage that dropped you to 0hp came from one of these sources.
