"Find me cards equivalent to: Practical Research"

Equivalent cards:

  • Practical Research: Draw four, discard two unless instant/sorcery.
  • Frantic Search: Draw two, discard two, untap three lands (also instant, but not exactly same draw power).
  • Careful Consideration: Draw four, then discard three unless played during opponent's turn, then discard two (instant, U).
  • Faithless Looting: Draw two, discard two (but only sorcery, not instant, R).
  • Compulsive Research: Draw three, discard two unless you discard a land (U, sorcery).

Closest instant in same colors is Frantic Search, but none match exactly.
Reason: Few RU instants dig as deep as Practical Research.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • You draw two cards and discard two cards all while Faithless Looting is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
  • "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard if the resulting spell is an instant or sorcery spell by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."
  • A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
  • If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • You can cast a spell using flashback even if it was somehow put into your graveyard without having been cast.
  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using flashback only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
