Drain Life Color= Black Type= Sorcery Cost= X1B MI(C)/A(C)/B(C)/U(C)/R(C)/4(C)/5(C)/BD(F1) Text (5th+errata): Spend only black mana on X. ; ~this~ deals X damage to target creature or player. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more life than the player's life total before ~this~ dealt damage or the creature's toughness. [Oracle 2001/05/02] You can put as much black mana as you want into this spell's X value, but you cannot gain more life than the creature's toughness. [D'Angelo 1996/07/01] You may gain up to the total toughness of the creature even if it was already damaged. [PPG Page 70] Cost reducers, such as Helm of Awakening can be used to reduce the X part of the mana cost. [WotC Rules Team 1997/06/01] Note - Also see X Costs, Rule 107.3. Note - Before errata, the X part of the cost was not part of the mana cost; it was part of the card's text. [Oracle 1999/07/01] This means the X cost is now part of the cost for things like Spell Blast. Note - The artist's name, Shuler, was misspelled on the Limited Edition and Unlimited Edition versions of this card.
