"Find me cards equivalent to: Cerebral Download"

Equivalent cards to Cerebral Download (Instant, blue, card draw + manipulation):
1. Fact or Fiction — Instant, blue, reveal top 5 cards, opponent splits into piles, you pick one to hand.
2. Dig Through Time — Instant, blue, delve, look at top 7 cards, pick 2 to hand.
3. Strategic Planning — Sorcery (not instant), blue, look at top 3, 1 to hand, rest to graveyard.
4. Thirst for Knowledge — Instant, blue, draw 3, discard 2 unless you discard an artifact.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.

    Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for .) Look at the top seven cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
