Lady Octopus.
Lady Octopus is a 100-card Commander deck led by Lady Octopus, Inspired Inventor in the mono-blue color identity. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.
The mainboard runs 12 creatures, 23 instants, 6 sorceries, 26 artifacts, 3 enchantments, 2 planeswalkers, and 28 lands, averaging 2.19 mana value across non-land cards. 83% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 4% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 13 game changers (e.g. Ancient Tomb, Chrome Mox, and Fierce Guardianship), 3 mass land denial cards (Static Orb, Winter Moon, and Winter Orb), 5 fast mana (e.g. An Offer You Can't Refuse, Lotus Petal, and Mox Amber), 3 free counterspells (Force of Negation, Mental Misstep, and Pact of Negation), and 4 tutors (e.g. Fabricate, Tezzeret, Cruel Captain, and Transmutation Font). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.
