Instant

Target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn. You lose 3 life.

"If it were merely lethal, that would be sufficient. The art, however, is in maximizing the suffering it causes." —Liliana Vess

The loss of life isn't a cost. If the target creature is an illegal target when Ulcerate tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't lose any life.
