"Find me cards equivalent to: Pact of the Serpent"

Equivalent cards to Pact of the Serpent (Sorcery, Black, draw+lose life based on creatures) include:
1. Necrologia – Lets you pay life to draw cards (not tribe-based but black and card draw/loss of life).
2. Sign in Blood – Target player draws two cards, loses 2 life (fixed amount, not based on creature type).
3. Sympathetic Vampirism – Black card advantage tied to creatures (closest tribe-based draw, but not exactly the same).
4. Read the Bones – Scry 2, draw 2, lose 2 life (again not tribe-based, but black card draw/loss).

No exact tribal card draw/loss like Pact of the Serpent exists in black, but the above are functionally similar in terms of color, type, and mechanic.

    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.
