"Find me cards equivalent to: Extract Brain"

Equivalent cards to Extract Brain (sorcery, blue-black, cast from opponent's hand):
1. Thoughtseize — Lets you see an opponent's hand and choose a nonland card for them to discard (doesn't cast).
2. Mind's Dilation (enchantment) — Lets you cast opponents' spells for free, but not directly from hand or same way.
3. Praetor's Grasp (sorcery) — Lets you exile, then cast a card from opponent's library.
4. Gonti, Lord of Luxury (creature) — Lets you exile and cast an opponent's top four cards.

Closest sorcery analog is still Extract Brain itself; nothing does exactly the same thing as a sorcery in UB. Most allow you to cast from exile or library, not directly from the opponent's hand.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • An effect that instructs you to "cast" a card doesn't allow you to play lands.
  • Casting the card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
  • Gonti doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.
  • If you leave the game, the card remains exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at it.
  • You may look at and cast that card (and spend mana as though it were mana of any type to do so) even if Gonti leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Gonti, that player can't look at or cast the card, and you still can.
  • You pay the costs for the exiled card if you cast it. You may pay alternative costs such as emerge rather than the card's mana cost.
  • The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless. Snow mana is not a type of mana. Gonti, Lord of Luxury won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.

    Deathtouch When Gonti enters, look at the top four cards of target opponent's library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of that library in a random order. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

    Rules

  • If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs, such as emerge costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as escalate costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • If you cast an instant or sorcery card this way, it goes to its owner's graveyard as normal. It doesn't return to exile.
  • If you cast the card this way, it will resolve before the spell that caused Mind's Dilation's ability to trigger.
  • If you cast the exiled card, you do so as part of the resolution of Mind's Dilation's ability. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored, but other restrictions (such as "Cast [this card] only during combat") are not.
  • If you don't cast the card, perhaps because you choose not to or because it's a land card, it remains exiled.
