"Find me cards equivalent to: Cost of Brilliance"

Equivalent cards to Cost of Brilliance (Sorcery, black, draw cards, lose life, possible +1/+1 counters):
1. Sign in Blood – Target player draws two cards and loses 2 life. (No +1/+1 counter, but closest in effect.)
2. Night's Whisper – You draw two cards and lose 2 life. (No target or counter, but similar draw/life loss.)
3. Village Rites – As an instant, you draw two cards for sacrificing; not exact but functionally close. (No life loss or counter.)
4. Read the Bones – Scry 2, draw 2, lose 2 life. (Additional scry; no counter.)
5. Cost of Brilliance – The original card requested.


Reason: Black sorceries that draw cards and have a life loss drawback are common; none put counters directly, so additional +1/+1 counter effect is rarely paired with this effect.

    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.
