"Find me cards equivalent to: Confront the Past"

Equivalent cards to Confront the Past (black, interacts with planeswalkers, or brings walkers back):
1. Necromantic Selection (Sorcery — returns all creatures, not exactly planeswalker-specific, but black & graveyard recursion).
2. Grim Return (Instant — returns one creature, black, graveyard recursion).
3. Vraska's Contempt (Instant — exile planeswalker or creature).
4. Hero's Downfall (Instant — destroy target creature or planeswalker).

Closest in effect for black and planeswalkers is Vraska's Contempt or Hero's Downfall, but note they destroy/exile instead of returning to play. No other black sorcery returns planeswalkers specifically from graveyard. Confront the Past is unique in black.

    Rules

  • Creature spells that are countered never entered the battlefield, so those cards can’t be chosen as the target of Grim Return.
  • You can choose a creature card in any player’s graveyard as long as that card was put there from the battlefield during the turn. A creature card that was put into a graveyard from anywhere else, such as a card that was discarded, can’t be chosen as the target.

    Rules

  • If the target creature or planeswalker is an illegal target by the time Vraska’s Contempt resolves, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. You won’t gain life.
  • There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.
