"Find me cards equivalent to: Grave Researcher"

Equivalent cards to Grave Researcher (black, graveyard/surveil interaction):
1. Nyx Weaver – Black and green, surveils and interacts with graveyard by self-milling and retrieving cards.
2. Doom Whisperer – Black, surveil mechanic, strong graveyard synergy.
3. Priest of Fell Rites – Black, graveyard recursion, not exactly surveil but interacts with creatures in graveyard.
4. Cemetery Tampering – Not a creature but black, surveils/mills card and benefits when certain graveyard threshold is met.


Reason: The card Grave Researcher isn't real, but these function similarly: graveyard/surveil synergy, and most activate when you hit specific graveyard thresholds. None duplicate the prepared mechanic, but surveil and graveyard thresholds are rare together in mono-black.

    Hideaway Mill

    Rules

  • Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card.
  • "Hideaway N" means "When this permanent enters the battlefield, look at the top N cards of your library. Exile one of them face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. The exiled card gains 'The player who controls the permanent that exiled this card may look at this card in the exile zone.'"
  • Hideaway now causes you to put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order instead of any order.
  • Previously, permanents with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped. This ability has been removed from the definition of hideaway. Older cards have received errata to have an additional paragraph that reads "[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped," and they now have hideaway 4.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Unearth

    Rules

  • Activating a creature card's unearth ability isn't the same as casting the creature card. The unearth ability is put on the stack, but the creature card is not. Spells and abilities that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle) will interact with unearth, but spells and abilities that interact with spells (such as Cancel) will not.
  • If a creature returned to the battlefield by the unearth ability would leave it for any reason, it's exiled instead—unless the spell or ability that's causing the creature to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it. In that case, the spell or ability succeeds at exiling the creature. If the spell or ability later returns the creature card to the battlefield (as Ephemerate might, for example), the creature card will return as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effect will no longer apply to it.
  • You choose the target of the first ability before paying any of that ability's costs. In other words, you can't choose Priest of Fell Rites itself as the target to bring it back from the graveyard.
