"Find me cards equivalent to: Sinister Waltz"

Equivalent cards to Sinister Waltz (Sorcery, Black/Red, graveyard-to-battlefield recursion) are limited due to its unique effect, but here are some close options in similar colors:
1. Victimize — Sorcery, Black. Sacrifice a creature: return two creature cards from graveyard to battlefield tapped.

Reason: Returns two creatures, but requires a sacrifice and isn't random.
2. Dread Return — Sorcery, Black. Return target creature from graveyard to battlefield, with flashback by sacrificing three creatures.

Reason: Only one creature, but similar recursion.
3. Corpse Dance — Instant, Black (Buyback). Return topmost creature from graveyard to play, sacrifice it end of turn.

Reason: Temporary reanimation, repeated use.

No exact equivalents in Black/Red that bring back multiple to battlefield at random like Sinister Waltz.

  • Corpse Dance only exiles the card if the card is still on the battlefield at the beginning of the end step.
  • The effect only grants Haste until the end of the current turn. If the creature somehow manages to stick around until a later turn, it will no longer have Haste.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
  • You choose the target for Dread Return before paying any of its costs, so it's not possible to cast it using flashback and bring back one of the creatures you sacrifice.

    Rules

  • As Victimize resolves, you must sacrifice a creature if able. You can't change your mind and choose not to sacrifice anything.
  • If one of the targeted creature cards is an illegal target (for instance, because it has left your graveyard before Victimize resolves), you'll still sacrifice a creature and put the other card onto the battlefield. If both are illegal targets, Victimize won't resolve. You won't sacrifice a creature.
  • The creature you sacrifice isn't chosen until Victimize resolves. You can't return the creature you sacrifice because it will still be on the battlefield at the time targets are chosen.
  • You must choose two targets. You can't cast Victimize targeting only one creature card.
