"Find me cards equivalent to: Riddle of Lightning"

Here are cards equivalent to Riddle of Lightning (Instant, Red, deals damage based on top card or interacts with top of library):
1. Magma Opus (not an exact match, but powerful Red instant with topdeck interaction)
2. Erratic Explosion (Instant, Red: Reveal top card, deals damage equal to its mana cost to a target)
3. Magma Jet (Instant, Red: Deals 2 damage to any target, Scry 2—less swingy, more consistent)


Reason: Erratic Explosion is the most direct equivalent—both are Red instants revealing the top card to determine damage.

    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.
  • 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.

    Rules

  • If somehow all of Magma Opus's targets are illegal as it tries to resolve, none of its effects happen. You will not create an Elemental token or draw two cards.
  • The same permanent can be chosen as a target for each of the two instances of "target." That is, you can have Magma Opus both deal damage to a creature or planeswalker and then tap it. (We're having a hard time imagining why you would, but you're the brilliant student.)
  • You also choose how the 4 damage will be divided among the first group of targets as you cast Magma Opus. You must have at least 1 damage dealt to each of those targets.
  • You choose all targets for Magma Opus as you cast the spell. This includes up to four targets for the first effect and two target permanents for the second effect.
  • You must choose two different target permanents for the second effect. You may choose permanents that are already tapped.
