Underrated card, it's almost the same as the highly rated Death Grasp but for a mono-black deck. If you read the wording correctly, you can still use to overkill a creature (such as dealing 6 damage to a 3 toughness) to ensure it dies assuming they have a pump, you just can't reap as much life.

the oracle should be:
Spend only black mana on X.
Drain Life deals X damage to target creature or player. You gain life equal to the damage dealt. If you would gain more life from Drain Life than the previous life total of the player or more than the previous toughness of the creature, instead you gain equal to the life total of the player or the toughness of the creature Drain Life dealt damage to.
