"Find me cards equivalent to: Peer into the Abyss"

Equivalent cards to Peer into the Abyss (Black Sorcery, massive draw and life loss) are rare, but here are a few in black:

  • Ad Nauseam (Instant, Black): Reveal cards from the top of your library and put them into your hand, pay 1 life per card revealed. Similar risk/reward draw at a cost.
  • Doomsday (Sorcery, Black): Search your library and graveyard for five cards, exile the rest, lose half your life. Not a draw but manipulates deck with significant life loss.
  • Necropotence (Enchantment, Black): Pay 1 life, exile the top card, put into hand at EoT. Continuous draw for life.
  • Griselbrand (Legendary Creature, Black): Pay 7 life: Draw seven cards. Life-for-cards exchange.

None do exactly what Peer into the Abyss does, but these are similar in color and high-risk, high-reward draw.

  • Each time you put the revealed card into your hand and lose the appropriate amount of life, you decide whether to continue by revealing another card. You don't decide in advance how many cards to put into your hand this way.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
  • You may continue to reveal cards with Ad Nauseam even if your life total has been reduced to 0 or less. If you continue, you will continue to lose life, dropping your life total into negative numbers. As soon as you stop, you'll lose the game as a state-based action.

  • If a discarded card isn't put into your graveyard (due to an effect such as that of Obstinate Baloth) or leaves your graveyard (perhaps because another effect returned it to your hand), it won't be exiled.
  • If you discard a card with madness and wish to cast it, Necropotence's ability won't exile that card. If you don't wish to cast it, you choose whether it ends up exiled or in your graveyard.
  • Necropotence's last ability creates a delayed triggered ability that will put the exiled card into your hand. That ability still triggers even if Necropotence is removed from the battlefield before your end step.
  • You can't look at the cards exiled by the last ability while they're face down.

  • The life lost is rounded up, not the remaining life total. For example, if the target player has 7 life, they lose 4 life and end up with 3. Similarly, the number of cards drawn is rounded up, not the number of cards remaining in the library.
  • To draw the cards, first the player determines how many cards to draw, then draws them. This event may be modified so that a different number of cards are actually drawn.
