"Find me cards equivalent to: Forbidden Alchemy"

Equivalent cards to Forbidden Alchemy (Instant, Blue, similar effect):
1. Impulse — Instant, U: Look at the top four cards of your library. Put one into your hand and the rest on the bottom in any order. (Does not mill, but same dig effect.)
2. Strategic Planning — Sorcery, U: Look at the top three cards, put one in your hand, rest in graveyard. (Slower and less cards.)
3. Consider — Instant, U: Look at the top card, may put it in graveyard, draw a card. (Less digging, also blue, instant.)

No other direct blue instant has exact Forbidden Alchemy effect with flashback, but above are close in color and role.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • If you have fewer than four cards in your library, you'll look at all the cards there and put one into your hand and the rest into your graveyard.
  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
