Deck overview

This mono-blue artifact deck uses Lady Octopus to cheat large artifacts into play. You gain ingenuity counters by drawing your first two cards each turn, then tap Lady Octopus to cast an artifact from hand for free if its mana value is low enough. The deck fills the board with high-impact artifacts and Equipment like Kaldra Compleat and Argentum Armor, protects them with hexproof and indestructible, and draws heavily to grow counters quickly. Its secondary win is infinite colored mana from Grand Architect + Pili-Pala into Walking Ballista. Grand Architect functions as a hidden commander for the combo, while Emry provides recursion when the board is answered.
