Imo Drain Life must have lifesteal. My arguments are: from artstyle point of view this spell must deal damage and heal you for the same amount, bc you are not JUST dealing damage and then healing yourself by other means. You're DRAINING health from opponent. Secondly it would add power to the card so it would be played I think, but not too much. It's an iconic warlock spell, why should it be trash?
Lifesteal isn't a keyword in the evergreen sets. It seems perfectly fine to have "trash" cards in the Basic set, for all the reasons which BB and others have explained. Among others - new players get to collect new cards from expansions which are "upgrades" to the cards they receive for free when starting their new account.
