AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Pain's Reward

Equivalent cards to Pain's Reward (black) that use bidding/auction or similar risky card draw mechanics:
1. Risky Study — Forces you to draw three cards at the cost of 3 life for each card.
2. Infernal Contract — Draws three cards and you lose half your life, rounded up.


Reason: Both are black cards that offer powerful card draw with significant life loss, echoing the high-risk, high-reward play style of “Pain’s Reward.” There aren’t many black cards with direct bidding, but these fit the risky card draw concept.
