"Find me cards equivalent to: Cruel Truths"

Equivalent cards (Black, Instant, card draw, and/or surveil effects):
1. Cruel Truths (your card)
2. Sign in Blood — Draw 2 cards, lose 2 life. (No surveil, but very similar effect, Black instant/sorcery card draw is rare.)
3. Read the Bones — Scry 2, draw 2, lose 2 life. (Scry instead of surveil, but a close equivalent in effect.)
4. Night's Whisper — Draw 2 cards, lose 2 life. (No surveil, but Black, efficient draw.)


Reason: Pure Black instants with surveil and card draw are incredibly rare, so I included close equivalents with scry or straight draw two, lose two life. No exact match at instant speed exists.

    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.
