"Mathmech", known as Zanki (斬機（ザンキ） Zanki) in the OCG, is an archetype of Cyberse monsters introduced in Deck Build Pack: Mystic Fighters. It is comprised of primarily Level 4 monsters of various Attributes that focus on Synchro and Xyz Summoning.

Etymology

"Mathmech" appears to be themed around Mathematics and processors of various kinds. In Japanese, "Zanki" means "cutting machine", but also sounds like "Sanki", which means "calculator", a non-computer processor. The "Mathmech" Synchro monsters, the "Mathmech Processors", are "Enzanki", which can mean both "flame cutting machine" and "arithmetic unit". The "Mathmech" Xyz monsters, the "Mathmech Editors", are "Kaizanki", which means "mass cutting machine", and is also a play on "Keisanki", likely meant to reference Batch Processing.

Playing style

The "Mathmech" theme focuses on the use of Level 4 Cyberse monsters with a range of attributes (FIRE, EARTH, LIGHT, and DARK) with the goal of swarming the field with materials in order to Synchro Summon and Xyz Summon. The main play enablers are the duo of Level 4 Tuner monsters, the LIGHT Attribute "Mathmech Sigma" and DARK Attribute "Mathmech Nabla", as well as the FIRE Attribute "Mathmech Addion" and "Mathmech Subtra", and the EARTH Attribute "Mathmech Multiplier" and "Mathmech Division". Every "Mathmech" Main Deck Monster includes an effect to Special Summon itself or other monsters, excluding Multiplier, who instead can double the level of a Level 4 Cyberse monster to Level 8 for the turn. These effects can range from summoning from hand, Deck, and GY and even multiple locations, as seen with the effect of "Division" to tribute a Cyberse monster, in order to Special Summon 2 Level 4 Cyberse Monsters: 1 from the hand and 1 from the GY.

The primary monsters to make with these summoned resources include the Level 8 FIRE Cyberse Synchro Tuner Effect monster, "Mathmech Processor Magma", the Level 12 FIRE Cyberse Synchro Effect monster "Mathmech Processor Final Sigma", as well as the Rank 4 EARTH Cyberse Xyz Effect monster, "Mathmech Editor Laplacian". From there, the deck focuses on an OTK and beatdown strategy through its Synchro Monsters with added disruption abilities from the Xyz Monster. "Mathmech Processor Magma" is capable of destroying two cards your opponent controls when it destroys a monster by battle and can search a "Mathmech" Spell/Trap when it itself is destroyed. "Mathmech Editor Laplacian" gives the deck protection and disruption capabilities. "Mathmech Processor Final Sigma", however, is the ultimate goal of this deck. While it is the Extra Monster Zone, it becomes unaffected by card effects, except for "Mathmech" cards, also it deals double battle damage when it battles a monster. Combine this with the ATK doubling effect of "Multiplier" and the effect of "Nabla" that allows for two attacks on monsters, and "Final Sigma" can very easily end the Duel.

In addition, the deck's Spells and Traps allow for revival and ATK boosting with "Mathmech Formula", triggering effects of various "Mathmech" Main Deck monsters with the Equip Spell "Mathmech Divider Nayuta", further ATK boosting and card removal with "Mathmech Induction", and quick Extra Deck Summoning through "Mathmech Superfactorial".
