"Find me cards equivalent to: Skeletal Scrying"

Equivalent cards to Skeletal Scrying (Instant, Black, card draw, additional cost/requirement, life loss):

  • Necrologia (pay X life, draw X cards, instant)
  • Sign in Blood (draw 2 cards, lose 2 life, instant speed with Hypnotic Grifter or similar)
  • Read the Bones (draw 2 cards, lose 2 life, scry 2, instant with Vedalken Orrery)
  • Moonlight Bargain (instant, lose life, draw cards based on the effect)

However, none are exactly the same (exile X cards + draw X cards + lose X life at instant speed and mono-black), but these are the closest.

Skeletal Scrying remains unique in its precise effect.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Connive

    Rules

  • If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to connive but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still connives. If you discard a nonland card this way, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything. Abilities that trigger "when [that creature] connives" will trigger.
  • If no card is discarded, most likely because that player's hand is empty and an effect says they can't draw cards, the conniving creature does not receive a +1/+1 counter.
  • Once an ability that causes a creature to connive begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the conniving creature after you discard a nonland card but before it receives a counter.

    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.
