"Find me cards equivalent to: Polygraph Orb"

Cards equivalent to Polygraph Orb (black artifacts with card selection and graveyard effects) include:
1. Midnight Clock (blue, not black, but provides card draw; not quite equivalent)
2. Herald’s Horn (colorless, but card advantage)
3. Mazemind Tome (colorless, but draws cards and exiles)
4. Key to the Archive (draw and discard, but white/blue; not black)
5. Coveted Jewel (draws three, colorless)

Closest black artifact equivalents:

  • Cranial Archive (exile graveyard, draws a card)
  • Underworld Dreams (not artifact, but black and deals life loss on draw)
  • Desecrated Tomb (generates tokens when cards leave graveyard)
  • Mind Stone (artifact, draws on sacrifice, but colorless)

There are very few black artifacts that:

  • Draw specific number of cards
  • Put others into graveyard
  • Cause opponents to lose life/discard/sacrifice

So, Polygraph Orb is quite unique for black artifacts. Closest functional match in existing cards: Cranial Archive for graveyard interaction, Mazemind Tome for artifact card draw.


Reason: Most black card draw is not on artifacts, and those with graveyard or opponent life loss effects usually are spells, not artifacts. There’s no perfect match, but these are the closest by color and function.

    Rules

  • If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Polygraph Orb's last ability causes both opponents to sacrifice a creature, discard a card, or lose 3 life.
  • In a multiplayer game, each opponent in turn order makes their choice once, then all of the actions occur simultaneously. Opponents will know choices made by earlier opponents when making their choices, although a card chosen to be discarded this way isn't revealed until it's discarded.
  • Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
  • While resolving Polygraph Orb's last ability, your opponent chooses a card to be discarded without revealing it, chooses a creature to be sacrificed, or chooses to do neither. Then that player discards that card, sacrifices that creature, or loses 3 life. Your opponent can always choose to lose 3 life, even if they have cards to discard or creatures to sacrifice.
