"Find me cards equivalent to: Mirrorshell Crab"

Mirrorshell Crab is a blue Artifact Creature — Crab with Ward {3} and an uncounter ability via Channel. Here are similar blue cards:
1. Cryptic Serpent — Blue creature, cost reduction, but no Ward or Channel.
2. Dream Eater — Blue creature with flash and disruption, but not an Artifact or Crab.
3. Stern Scolding (not a creature, but a blue counterspell for small creatures).
4. Voracious Greatshark — Blue creature, counters an artifact/creature spell on ETB.
5. Hexcatcher Adept — Blue creature, gives Ward {1} to other creatures.

Explanation: No card has exactly both Channel and Ward {3}, but these share similarities: blue creatures, defensive/counter abilities, and in some cases, ward mechanics. Mirrorshell Crab remains quite unique in its specific combination.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Flash Flying Surveil

    Rules

  • Dream Eater's reflexive triggered ability triggers even if you have fewer than four cards in your library to surveil.
  • Dream Eater's triggered ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, after you've surveilled, the reflexive triggered ability triggers and you pick a target nonland permanent to be returned to its owner's hand. This is different from effects that say "If you do . . ." in that you choose the target after having surveilled.
  • When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

(To surveil 4, look at the top four cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

  • Discarding the card is part of the cost to activate a channel ability.
  • If a channel ability requires a target, you may not activate it without a target just to discard the card.
  • If a player casts a spell that targets multiple permanents their opponent controls with ward, each of those ward abilities will trigger. If that player doesn't pay for all of them, the spell will be countered.
