Equivalent cards to Torch the Tower (Red instants, deal damage to creature/planeswalker, potential exile):
1. Play with Fire
Instant, R: Deals 2 damage to any target, scry 1 if player targeted. Very similar, but hits any target instead of just creature/planeswalker.
2. Abrade
Instant, 1R: Deals 3 damage to target creature or destroys an artifact. No exile or scry, but extra modal flexibility.
3. Fried
Instant, 1R: 5 damage to a white or blue creature or planeswalker. More restrictive, but much higher damage.
4. Flame Slash
Sorcery, R: 4 damage to target creature. Not instant, not to planeswalkers, no exile.
5. Rending Volley
Instant, R: 4 damage to white or blue creature, can’t be countered. Specialized, but instant speed.

All are red; Torch the Tower is unique for bargain/scry/exile combo at instant speed. Closest all-around is Play with Fire among red instants.

    Bargain Scry

    Rules

  • Bargain means "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token."
  • Bargain represents an optional additional cost. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is "bargained."
  • If you copy a bargained spell, the copy is also bargained. If a card or token enters the battlefield as a copy of a permanent that's already on the battlefield, the new permanent isn't bargained, even if the original was.
  • Some instant and sorcery spells require additional targets if they're bargained. You ignore those targeting requirements if those spells aren't bargained, and you can't bargain those spells unless you can choose the appropriate targets. On the other hand, you can bargain a permanent spell even if you won't be able to choose targets for an enters-the-battlefield ability of that permanent once the spell resolves.
  • Torch the Tower's last replacement effect will exile the target permanent if it would die this turn for any reason, not just due to lethal damage or having 0 loyalty.
  • You may sacrifice only one artifact, enchantment, or token to pay a spell's bargain cost.

    Bargain (You maysacrificean artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast this spell.) Torch the Tower deals 2 damage to target creature or planeswalker. If this spell was bargained, instead it deals 3 damage to that permanent and you scry 1. If a permanent dealt damage by Torch the Tower would die this turn, exile it instead.
