Ideas Unboundcard_draw$1.07Like Frantic Search, it is a blue draw-and-discard spell that digs for cards quickly. It trades the land-untap burst for a cheaper mana cost and a larger raw draw/filter effect.Careful Studycard_draw$8.81This is a very similar blue looting spell that draws and discards in one shot. It is less explosive than Frantic Search, but fills the same filtering role at a much lower cost.Chart a Coursecard_drawBudget$0.30A blue card-selection spell that rewards you with card flow while helping sculpt your hand. It does not untap lands, but serves the same cheap velocity role in blue decks.Thirst for Knowledgecard_drawBudget$0.25Another instant-speed blue draw spell that converts cards in hand into selection and value. It is a close functional cousin for filtering, especially in decks happy to discard cards.Compulsive Researchcard_drawBudget$0.10This is a classic blue draw-and-discard effect that improves hand quality and fuels graveyard synergies. It is sorcery-speed and slower, but very close in function.Fact or Fictioncard_draw$1.75While not a discard spell, it is one of blue's best instant-speed card selection and advantage plays. It fills a similar role of finding the right cards at the end of an opponent's turn.Pirate's Pillageramp$0.77It provides the same draw-discard style filtering, with extra mana acceleration instead of land untapping. It is in red, but functionally similar as a velocity spell.Merfolk Looterutility$0.55This repeatable looting effect serves the same hand-sculpting purpose as Frantic Search. It is slower, but a strong budget and engine-style alternative for blue decks.
