Lady Octopus by Slasher199

Format: Commander

Commander: Lady Octopus, Inspired Inventor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-blue artifact value deck helmed by Lady Octopus, Inspired Inventor. The core plan is to chain cantrips and artifact-cast draw triggers to load ingenuity counters onto the commander, then tap her to hard-cast expensive artifacts for free. Cost reducers (Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector, Shuri, Wakandan Inventor), affinity threats, and proliferate (Flux Channeler, Surge Conductor) accelerate the counter clock and the board. Primary wins are combat via animated/myriad artifact swarms (Cyberdrive Awakener, Cybermen Squadron, Krang, Utrom Warlord) and the alternate-win enchantment Mechanized Production; Psychosis Crawler plus mass draw provides a non-combat drain finish. The deck plays as a midrange artifact engine that turns card flow into free haymakers rather than a pure combo shell.
