"Find me cards equivalent to: Hostile Negotiations"

Equivalent cards to Hostile Negotiations (Instant, black, card selection with drawback) are rare, but here are some similar options:

  • Sign in Blood — Draw 2 cards, lose 2 life. (B, Instant/Sorcery)
  • Painful Lesson — Draw 2 cards, lose 2 life. (B, Instant/Sorcery)
  • Read the Bones — Scry 2, draw 2, lose 2 life. (B, Sorcery, closest in effect/drawback)


Reason: Hostile Negotiations is unique for being an instant with a choice/minigame and life loss in black, but these offer card draw with life loss at instant or sorcery speed. Read the Bones is closest in value and color.

  • If you have fewer than six cards in your library, the second pile will be smaller than the first. If you have fewer than four cards in your library, only the first pile will have cards in it at all, and the second pile will be empty. You may choose to turn the empty pile face up, but your opponent will probably choose to give you the empty pile regardless, unless they're feeling especially generous.

    Scry

    Rules

  • Scry appears on some spells and abilities with one or more targets. If all of the spell or ability's targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't scry.
  • The loss of life is part of the spell's effect. It's not an additional cost. If Read the Bones doesn't resolve, you won't lose life.
  • When you scry, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards on the bottom of your library, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them on the bottom.
  • You choose how to order cards returned to your library after scrying no matter where you put them.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, that means you'll scry last. For others, that means you'll scry and then perform other actions.
