Wow, just wow. It may not be strictly better than force of will, but if your opponent isn't playing a turn 0 win deck, then this thing's not only a cheap counter, but late game this thing can simply win it for you.

The thing is, even if you're just playing a fun kitchen table game, you can't proxy this because because people will doubt its existence.

The counterspell that should never have seen the light of day. At least back then mana burn was a disincentive! Mana Drain is broken and unbalanced and overpowered and I wish I had 10 of them.
The odd art is explained by Draining Whelk, Time Spiral's homage card.

Probably the only counterspell other than Cryptic Command whhich would still be perfectly playable with the "Counter target spell" rules text removed. There's a good reason this has never been reprinted at *any* mana cost without a chance of failing to get the mana from the opposing spell.
