"Find me cards equivalent to: Skeletal Scrying"

Skeletal Scrying is unique, but here are similar black instant cards that exile cards from the graveyard for card draw or a comparable effect:

  • Necrologia (not instant, but similar black card draw & life loss theme)
  • Read the Bones (does not exile or scale with X, but black instant/sorcery that draws and loses life)
  • Moonlight Bargain (instant, not exile cost, but big card draw & life loss)
  • Plunge into Darkness (instant, exile for effect, life payment, card selection)

No exact matches in black instants. Skeletal Scrying remains the closest for its unique cost & effect.

    Abilities/Keywords

    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.
