"Find me cards equivalent to: Siphon Insight"

Siphon Insight is a unique instant in Blue-Black with library-exile and casting effects. Closest equivalents (UB/BU instants with similar exile/play mechanics):
1. Nightveil Specter (not an instant, but lets you play exiled opponent cards; closest mechanic match)
2. Memory Plunder (UB instant, lets you cast an opponent's instant or sorcery from their graveyard)
3. Extract from Darkness (UB, not an instant, but similar 'from opponent's library' feel)

None are exact, but Memory Plunder is closest in UB instant; Nightveil Specter in terms of effect. Siphon Insight itself is the only UB instant with all of those attributes.

    Rules

  • Extract from Darkness doesn't target a creature card. You choose which card you're putting onto the battlefield as it resolves. You can choose any creature card in a graveyard at that time, including one just put into a graveyard by Extract from Darkness. If there are no creature cards in graveyards at that time, Extract from Darkness simply finishes resolving.

    Rules

  • If you are unable to cast the card (there are no legal targets for the spell, for example), nothing happens when Memory Plunder resolves, and the card remains in its owner's graveyard.
  • If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can't pay any alternative costs. On the other hand, if the card has additional costs (such as conspire), you may pay those.
  • If you want to cast the card, you cast it as part of the resolution of Memory Plunder. Timing restrictions based on the card's type are ignored if it's a sorcery. Other casting restrictions are not (such as “Cast [this card] only during combat”).

    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.
  • Only you get to look at the exiled card. Its owner doesn't get to know what it is while it is in exile unless you tell them.
  • You don't have to disclose which card you exiled and which card you put on the bottom of the library. For example, if your opponent knows what the top card of their library is and you cast Siphon Insight, you don't have to tell them where you put that card.
  • You may play the card even if it is a land.
  • You must still follow all normal timing rules to play a card exiled with Siphon Insight.

    Look at the top two cards of target opponent's library. Exile one of them face down and put the other on the bottom of that library. You may play the exiled card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell. Flashback
