"Find me cards equivalent to: Contingency Plan"

Equivalent cards to Contingency Plan (mono-blue, sorcery, surveil or similar effect):
1. Strategic Planning — Sorcery, look at top three cards, put one in hand, rest in graveyard.
2. Pieces of the Puzzle — Sorcery, look at top five cards, put two instants/sorceries in hand, rest in graveyard.
3. Otherworldly Gaze — Instant, surveil 3 (repeatedly from graveyard, but not a sorcery).
4. Compulsive Research — Sorcery, draw three, discard two unless you discard a land (card filtering, but not surveillance).

Closest match is Strategic Planning and Pieces of the Puzzle for blue sorceries that fill the graveyard. None surveil 5 exactly, but these share function with Contingency Plan.

    Flashback Surveil

    Rules

  • "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.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
