"Find me cards equivalent to: Retrieve the Esper"

Equivalent or similar blue sorceries that create tokens and/or have Flashback:
1. Docent of Perfection (not a sorcery, but makes blue Wizard tokens).
2. Talrand's Invocation – Sorcery, creates two 2/2 blue Drake tokens.
3. Rise from the Tides – Creates 2/2 Zombie tokens for each instant/sorcery in graveyard.
4. Chilling Apparition (custom, but for reference – no existing blue sorcery makes a 3/3 artifact creature with a graveyard bonus and flashback).
5. Retrieve the Esper – your original card for reference.

Closest is Talrand's Invocation.

Reason: It’s the only available blue sorcery that creates multiple tokens, but none have both artifact token and Flashback. No direct MTG equivalent for all Retrieve the Esper abilities.

    Flashback

    Rules

  • "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.
