"Find me cards equivalent to: Magar of the Magic Strings"

There are no exact equivalents to Magar of the Magic Strings (Legendary Creature — Minotaur Performer, colors B/R, reanimates instants/sorceries as creatures). However, some similar Rakdos (B/R) legendary creatures that interact with instants and sorceries are:
1. Chainer, Nightmare Adept
Reanimates creatures, not spells. Still B/R, legendary, graveyard interaction.
2. Anje Falkenrath
Discards cards to draw, interacts well with madness spells, B/R, legendary, card advantage.
3. Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin
Exiles opponents' spells on death triggers; not strictly similar but is B/R, legendary, care about triggered abilities.
4. Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant
Deals with combat, triggers for card draw but not reanimation or casting from graveyard.

Summary:
Closest are Magar of the Magic Strings, Chainer, Nightmare Adept, and Anje Falkenrath. Rakdos legends with graveyard or spell synergy are rare—none do exactly what Magar of the Magic Strings does for instants/sorceries.

    Rules

  • Chainer's first ability doesn't change when you can cast the creature card. You can normally only cast it during your turn while the stack is empty, but if the creature card has flash, you can cast it at other times.
  • Chainer's last ability triggers if Chainer enters the battlefield without being cast from your hand.
  • Chainer's last ability triggers if the entering creature was cast from a zone other than your hand, or if it wasn't cast at all and is entering the battlefield from anywhere (including from your hand).
  • If you somehow activate Chainer's first ability more than once during a turn (perhaps because Chainer left the battlefield and returned), you can cast a creature card for each ability's permission. Similarly, if another effect allows you to cast a creature card from your graveyard, you may use that permission and later use Chainer's permission to cast another creature card.
  • You don't choose a creature card to cast while activating or resolving Chainer's first ability. The ability creates a permission for you to cast a creature card from your graveyard later in the turn.

    Discard a card: You may cast a creature spell from your graveyard this turn. Activate only once each turn. Whenever a nontoken creature you control enters, if you didn't cast it from your hand, it gains haste until your next turn.

    Whenever you attack a player, tap target creature that player controls and goad it. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.) Whenever an opponent attacks another one of your opponents, you and the attacking player each draw a card and lose 1 life.

    Rules

  • If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of a face-down creature (or if a token is created that’s a copy of one), that copy has the same characteristics as the face-down creature (in this case, it’s a 3/3 creature with the two abilities and no other characteristics), even though the copy is face up. Importantly, the noted name is not part of the face-down creature’s copiable values, so copies of the face-down creature won’t know the noted name. If one deals combat damage to a player, its controller won’t create a copy of any card.
  • If a face-down permanent you control leaves the battlefield, or if the game ends or you leave the game while you control it, you must reveal it to all players (even though in this case, everyone saw it before it entered).
  • If an effect tries to “blink” a face-down instant or sorcery card—that is, exile it and then return it to the battlefield—the card is exiled and remains in exile.
  • The face-down creature has no characteristics other than the ones given to it by Magar’s ability. It has no name, no mana cost, no creature types, and no abilities other than the two Magar gives it. The creature is colorless and has a mana value of 0.
  • There are no cards in this set that would turn a face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield face up, but some older cards can try to do this. If something tries to turn a face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield face up, reveal that card to show all players it’s an instant or sorcery card. The permanent remains on the battlefield face down. Abilities that trigger when a permanent turns face up won’t trigger, because even though you revealed the card, it never turned face up.
  • You may look at face-down permanents you control at any time.
  • You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can easily be differentiated from each other. You’re not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield to confuse other players. The order they entered the battlefield should remain clear. Common methods for indicating this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield. You must also track how each became face down (Magar’s ability, cast face down using the morph ability, and so on).

    : Note the name of target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard and put it onto the battlefield face down. It's a 3/3 creature with "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may create a copy of the card with the noted name. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost" and "If this creature would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else."

    Rules

  • If you don't play the card, it will remain exiled.
  • Ob Nixilis's last ability looks at all combat damage dealt to an opponent in total to determine whether it triggers. For example, if three 1/1 creatures deal combat damage to an opponent, that player loses 3 life. Ob Nixilis's ability won't trigger.
  • Ob Nixilis's last ability will trigger if an opponent is dealt exactly 1 damage, pays exactly 1 life, or loses exactly 1 life some other way.
  • Playing the card exiled with Ob Nixilis follows the normal rules for playing that card. You must pay its costs, and you must follow all applicable timing rules. For example, if the card is a creature card, you can cast that card by paying its mana cost only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
  • Unless an effect allows you to play additional lands that turn, you can play a land card exiled with Ob Nixilis only if you haven't played a land yet that turn.
  • You may play the card exiled with Ob Nixilis even if Ob Nixilis leaves the battlefield or you lose control of it.
