"Find me cards equivalent to: The Darkness Crystal"

Equivalent cards to The Darkness Crystal (legendary black artifact with spell reduction, exile-on-death, and reanimation):
1. The Darkness Crystal (per your request)
2. The Immortal Sun (legendary artifact, but cuts all spells' cost by {1} and draws cards, more general, not color-specific)
3. Tormod's Cryptkeeper (artifact, interacts with exiled cards but does not reanimate, close in theme)
4. Phyrexian Altar (black artifact, enables value from creatures dying, not a cost reducer or exiler)
5. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed (legendary black creature, destroys and revives creatures with undying, not an artifact)
6. Bolasil, the Tombkeeper (fictional, for illustration as no printed card does exactly your effect)

Closest in function are The Immortal Sun (for cost reduction), and Tormod's Cryptkeeper (for interaction with exile).

There is no direct equivalent; your card is unique in combining all those effects in a single legendary black artifact.

    Rules

  • Any damage dealt to you by a Human will cause Mikaeus’s ability to trigger, including noncombat damage dealt to you by a Human and damage dealt to you by a Human you control.
  • If a Human deals damage to you at the same time that Mikaeus is dealt lethal damage, Mikaeus’s triggered ability triggers. That Human will be destroyed even though Mikaeus has left the battlefield.
  • If a non-Human creature you control without a +1/+1 counter dies at the same time as Mikaeus, that creature’s undying ability granted by Mikaeus triggers and will return it to the battlefield.
  • The +1/+1 bonus that Mikaeus gives to other non-Human creatures you control isn’t a counter. It won’t prevent undying from triggering.

    Rules

  • If The Darkness Crystal leaves the battlefield at the same time as one or more nontoken creatures an opponent controls would die, those creature cards will be exiled and you'll gain 2 life for each of them.
  • If a creature token an opponent controls dies, it goes to that player's graveyard as normal before ceasing to exist.
  • The cost reduction applies only to generic mana in the total cost of black spells you cast.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of The Darkness Crystal's first ability). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.
  • While you control The Darkness Crystal, abilities that trigger whenever a nontoken creature an opponent control dies won't trigger because that card is exiled instead.
