"Find me cards equivalent to: Sift Through Sands"

Equivalent cards to Sift Through Sands (blue, instant, Arcane, draws then discards, synergy with other spells) include:
1. Peer Through Depths — Another Arcane blue instant with a similar trigger for The Unspeakable, and it lets you look at cards to find an instant or sorcery.
2. Reach Through Mists — Blue instant, Arcane, draws a card and also part of the same spell chain.
3. Ideas Unbound — Blue Arcane sorcery, draw 3, discard 3 at end of turn (not instant, but close).
4. Serum Visions — Blue instant, draw and scry (not Arcane, but similar effect).


Reason: Only Sift Through Sands, Peer Through Depths, and Reach Through Mists share all the mechanical and flavor hooks (Arcane, blue, The Unspeakable synergy). Blue instants that draw/discard but lack Arcane or the specific synergy include Frantic Search and Careful Consideration, but they aren't perfect equivalents.
