"Find me cards equivalent to: Stern Lesson"

Equivalent cards to Stern Lesson (Instant, blue, draw 2, discard 1, additional effect):
1. Compulsive Research — Draw 3, discard 2 unless you discard a land (slightly different, but similar function).
2. Frantic Inventory — Draw a card, then if you have more copies, draw more (not an exact match, but close in utility).
3. Catalog — Draw 2, discard 1 (no Powerstone effect).

No exact equivalents do the Powerstone token, but Catalog is the closest blue instant with the draw/discard effect.

    Powerstone

    Rules

  • Although all the cards in The Brothers' War that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn't part of the token's definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won't enter the battlefield tapped.
  • Powerstone tokens are a kind of predefined token. Each one has the artifact subtype "Powerstone" and the ability "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell."
  • You can use the {C} added by a Powerstone token on anything that isn't a nonartifact spell. This includes paying costs to activate abilities of both artifact and nonartifact permanents, paying ward costs, and so on.
