Replacements for Faithless Looting?

Modern forum

Sooo.... Faithless Looting is banned.

Would Tormenting Voice or Cathartic Reunion be good replacements? Are there any other low-CMC red card-draw cards I'm missing?

Insolent Neonate

Are you looking to discard or are you looking to dig? Digging is best left to blue decks. Otherwise, insolent neonate is turn 1 discard.

There is no strict replacement for Faithless Looting . All "alternatives" such as Tormenting Voice and Cathartic Reunion cost , which is significantly more than . All alternatives which cost (such as the Insolent Neonate that ToolmasterOfBrainerd mentioned) simply do not do the same job that Faithless Looting does, as looting allows twice the "loot" as all alternatives.
If you're desperate for a replacement, the neonate is probably your best bet... but it feels WAY worse to play than Faithless Looting .

It depends on what you're using Looting for. In a deck like Dredge, either Insolent Neonate or Tome Scour. In UR Phoenix, something like Izzet Charm may be playable.

If you want the draw/digging over the discard, then Magmatic Insight isn’t terrible.

What about Light Up the Stage ? If you’re not dredging it’s the same as looting without having to discard it just has a time limit.

What about Madness purposes? Which one would you recommend?
