"Find me cards equivalent to: Abstract Performance"

Cards similar to Abstract Performance (Sorcery, blue, exile/top-of-library interaction, opponent choice, cast for free):
1. Fact or Fiction

  • Blue instant, opponent splits top 5 cards into two piles, you pick one pile to put in hand, other to graveyard.
    2. Epiphany at the Drownyard
  • Blue instant, top X cards split into piles by opponent, you choose one pile to put into hand.
    3. Sphinx of Foresight (sort of)
  • Blue creature, top-of-library manipulation, not opponent's choice and not directly equivalent, but has some overlap.
    4. Steam Augury
  • Blue-red instant, similar pile-splitting mechanic, you choose a pile for your hand.
    5. Innovate (if looking for variants on casting cards for free from exile/top)
  • Blue sorcery, lets you exile top 3, cast one until end of turn.


Reason: No card is identical to Abstract Performance, but the above cards share the blue color, deal with splitting cards into piles, top-of-library or exile manipulation, and/or opponent choice in what you get.

  • If the spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the spell.
  • If you have fewer than eight cards in your library, the second pile will be smaller than the first. If you have fewer than five cards in your library, only the face-down pile will have cards in it at all, and the second pile will be empty. In that case, your opponent will probably choose to put the pile with cards in it into your graveyard.
  • You can't look at the cards in the face-down pile until you're instructed to do so or until they're moved to the graveyard (at which point they'll be face up).
  • You cast the spell while Abstract Performance is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on its types are ignored.
  • You choose which opponent chooses the pile while resolving Abstract Performance.

    Flying Scry

    Rules

  • If you reveal two Sphinxes of Foresight from your opening hand, you'll scry 3 twice; you won't scry 6. Any cards you put on top of your library the first time you scry 3 will be part of the second time you scry 3.
  • A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.
