"Find me cards equivalent to: Wake the Dead"

Equivalent cards to Wake the Dead (must be black, instant, return creatures from graveyard temporarily) are very rare. The card itself is unique, but the closest equivalents are:
1. Necromancy (not an instant, but can be played as one due to its text, same color)
2. Goryo's Vengeance (black, instant, returns a legendary creature from your graveyard temporarily)
3. Corpse Dance (black, instant, returns top creature from graveyard temporarily, requires buyback)

Closest:
Goryo's Vengeance — Instant, black, brings a legendary creature from your graveyard to battlefield, exiles it at end of turn.


Reason: Wake the Dead is unique in flexibility/X target, but Goryo's Vengeance and Corpse Dance have similar effects for single creatures.

    Splice

    Rules

  • A card with a splice ability can't be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
  • If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word "target" on the resulting spell.
  • You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
  • If the returned creature leaves the battlefield before the end step, it will remain in its current zone. It won't be exiled.

    Rules

  • The bringing of the creature onto the battlefield and then putting Necromancy on it is all done as part of the resolution.
  • When putting a card onto the battlefield that requires a definition for its value or some other choice, you do what is needed to define the value or make the choice.
  • Necromancy enters as an enchantment and then becomes an Enchant Creature Aura as a triggered ability upon entering. It follows all the rules for Auras from then on.
  • If the creature card put onto the battlefield has protection from black (or anything that prevents this from legally being attached), this won't be able to attach to it. Then this will go to the graveyard as a state-based action, causing the creature to be sacrificed.
  • The sacrifice occurs only if you cast it using its own ability. If you cast it using some other effect (for example, if another effect allowed you to cast it as though it had flash), then it won't be sacrificed.

    You may cast this spell as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step. When this enchantment enters, if it's on the battlefield, it becomes an Aura with "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Necromancy." Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control and attach this enchantment to it. When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.
