Essence Drain, Sorcery, designed by Tony Szczudlo first released in May, 2020 in the set Darksteel and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
This card, Essence Drain, would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on gaining life and dealing damage over time. However, there are better options like Vraska's Contempt which exiles a target creature and gains you 2 life for the same mana cost. While Essence Drain can be situationally useful, it may not be the most optimal choice for competitive play due to the availability of stronger alternatives.

If the target permanent or player is an illegal target when Essence Drain tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t gain 3 life.
