"Find me cards equivalent to: Xanathar, Guild Kingpin"

Equivalent cards to Xanathar, Guild Kingpin (Blue/Black, Legendary, with similar play/cast from opponent's library or steal spells abilities):
1. Narset, Enlightened Exile (Red/White/Blue): Lets you cast noncreature, nonland spells from your graveyard but not opponent's library. Multi-color, close on ability.
2. Sen Triplets (White/Blue/Black): At your upkeep, choose an opponent. They can't cast spells this turn. You may play cards from their hand this turn and spend mana as any color. Closest in function and colors.
3. Drana, the Last Bloodchief (Black): Lets you play creatures from opponent's graveyard, not library, but still 'stealing.'

Best equivalent is Sen Triplets—same color identity (esper includes blue/black), similar opponent-lock and play-their-cards ability.

  • If Drana attacks a planeswalker, that planeswalker's controller is the defending player.
  • The defending player chooses a card and you put it onto the battlefield all while Drana's ability is resolving. No player may take actions in between those events.
  • The returned creature remains a Vampire in addition to its other types even after Drana leaves the battlefield.

    Rules

  • If a creature has multiple instances of prowess, each triggers separately.
  • If another effect causes Narset's power to be less than or equal to the mana value of the target card as the ability tries to resolve, the target is illegal. The card won't be exiled, and you won't get to cast a copy.
  • If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
  • If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are performed.
  • Narset's first ability gives it prowess while it's on the battlefield.
  • Once a prowess ability triggers, causing the creature to lose prowess by removing Narset, Enlightened Exile won't affect that ability. The creature will still get +1/+1 until end of turn.
  • You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.

    Rules

  • During your turn, you can look at the top card of the chosen opponent's library whenever you want (with one restriction; see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.
  • If the top card of that library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast a spell from the top of that library, you can't look at the next card until you're done paying for that spell.
  • The target opponent may still cast spells in response to Xanathar, Guild Kingpin's ability in your upkeep. If that player has somehow become an illegal target for the ability as it tries to resolve, the ability does nothing. They may cast spells and you cannot look at or play the top card of their library.
  • Xanathar doesn't change when you can cast spells or play lands. You must still follow all normal timing rules and land play limits.
  • You'll still pay all costs for spells cast this way, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs if any are available.

    At the beginning of your upkeep, choose target opponent. Until end of turn, that player can't cast spells, you may look at the top card of their library any time, you may play the top card of their library, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast spells this way.
