==Etymology==
 
==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 [[wikipedia:Batch processing|batch processing]].
+
The "Mathmech" archetype is themed around [[wikipedia:Mathematics|mathematics]]. The Japanese names of the "Mathmech" monsters involve puns on mathematical terms.
−
 
+
The name "Mathmech" is a portmanteau of "mathematics" and "mechanical". The Japanese name for "Mathmech" is ''Zanki'' ({{Ruby|斬|ザン}}{{Ruby|機|キ}}, lit. "cutting machine"), and it is a pun on ''keisanki'' ({{Ruby|計|けい}}{{Ruby|算|さん}}{{Ruby|機|き}}, "calculator").
−
{| class="wikitable sortable"
+
The name "Geomathmech" used on the archetype's [[Synchro Monster]]s is a portmanteau of "[[wikipedia:Geometry|geometry]]" and "Mathmech". The Japanese name for "Geomathmech" is ''Enzanki'' ({{Ruby|炎|エン}}{{Ruby|斬|ザン}}{{Ruby|機|キ}}, lit. "flame cutting machine"), and it is a pun on ''enzan'' ({{Ruby|演|えん}}{{Ruby|算|ざん}}, "[[wikipedia:Operation (mathematics)|operation]]"). The character ''en'' ({{Ruby|炎|えん}}, "fire") references their [[FIRE]] Attribute.
 +
The name "Primathmech" used on the archetype's [[Xyz Monster]]s is a portmanteau of "[[wikipedia:Prime (symbol)#Use in mathematics, statistics, and science|prime]]" and "Mathmech". The Japanese name for "Primathmech" is ''Kaizanki'' ({{Ruby|塊|カイ}}{{Ruby|斬|ザン}}{{Ruby|機|キ}}, lit. "clod cutting machine"), and it is a pun on ''kaizan'' ({{Ruby|改|かい}}{{Ruby|竄|ざん}}, "[[wikipedia:Mathematical fallacy|falsification]]"). The character ''kai'' ({{Ruby|塊|かい}}, "clod") references their [[EARTH]] Attribute.

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 "Mathmech" archetype focuses on swarming Level 4 Cyberse monsters in order to perform Synchro, Xyz, and Link Summon plays. Secondarily, the archetype focuses on manipulating monster ATKs, in order to assist in [[OTK]]s using their Synchro boss monster "[[Geomathmech Final Sigma]]".
−
 
+
The "algebra" sub-series, consisting of "[[Mathmech Sigma|Sigma]]", "[[Mathmech Addition|Addition]]", and "[[Mathmech Subtraction|Subtraction]]", are generic Level 4 Cyberse Special Summon extenders (that also Cyberse-lock the player's Extra Deck Special Summons). "Addition" and "Subtraction" also provide a ±1000 ATK stat modification effect when Special Summoning themselves.
−
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.  
+
The "analysis" sub-series, consisting of "[[Mathmech Nabla|Nabla]]", "[[Mathmech Multiplication|Multiplication]]", and "[[Mathmech Division|Division]]", support Extra Deck plays by providing Summoning from Deck ("Nabla"), Summoning from hand and GY ("Division"), or level modulation ("Multiplication"). If they're sent to the GY, they will also trigger a combat-boosting effect, either providing double attack ("Nabla") or double ATK ("Multiplication") to a friendly Cyberse monster in the [[Extra Monster Zone]], or halving a monster's ATK ("Division").
−
 
+
The "geometry" sub-series provides powerful and varied support effects. "[[Mathmech Diameter|Diameter]]" revives a Level 4 Cyberse monster when Normal Summoned, and grants a "Mathmech" Synchro/Xyz monster summoned using it as a material an omni-negate in the turn it's summoned. "[[Mathmech Circular|Circular]]" is another generic extender, but sends 1 "Mathmech" monster to the GY as cost to Special Summon itself; this can be used to dump the "analysis" monsters for combat boosting effects or later revival, or "Sigma" to immediately Special Summon it with its effect. On the field, "Circular" also searches a "Mathmech" Spell/Trap if a "Mathmech" is summoned.
−
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]]".
+
The archetype's Extra Deck monsters consist of 2 Synchro Monsters and 2 Xyz Monsters.
−
 
+
* "[[Geomathmech Magma]]" (Level 8 Synchro) can destroy two cards when it destroys a monster by battle, and can search a "Mathmech" Spell/Trap when it is destroyed.
 +
* "[[Geomathmech Final Sigma]]" (Level 12 Synchro) becomes unaffected by card effects, except for "Mathmech" cards, while it is the [[Extra Monster Zone]], and also deals double battle damage when it battles a monster. Combine this with the archetype's combat boosting effects, and "Final Sigma" can easily perform an OTK on its own.
 +
* "[[Primathmech Alembertian]]" (Rank 4 Xyz, 2+ monsters) can search any "Mathmech" card when Xyz Summoned, and can tribute 1 monster to Special Summon any "Mathmech" from hand or GY. It is an important searcher and combo-enabler for almost all of the deck's combos.
 +
* "[[Primathmech Laplacian]]" (Rank 4 Xyz, 3 monsters) can send up to 3 cards the opponent possesses to the GY when Xyz Summoned (1 each from their hand, S/T zone, and monster zone), and can protect friendly "Mathmech" cards from being destroyed by detaching its materials. It is a formidable board-clearer, and can become a powerful disruption piece if it is summoned with "[[Mathmech Superfactorial]]" in the opponent's turn.
 +
The archetype's Spells and Traps allow for revival and ATK boosting with "[[Mathmech Equation]]", triggering effects of various "Mathmech" Main Deck monsters with the Equip Spell "[[Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta]]", further ATK boosting and card removal with "[[Mathmech Induction]]", and Spell Speed 2 Extra Deck Summoning through "[[Mathmech Superfactorial]]".

"Mathmech", known as "Zanki" (斬（ザン）機（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. They are used by Yami Kuroda in the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures manga.

Etymology[edit]

The "Mathmech" archetype is themed around mathematics. The Japanese names of the "Mathmech" monsters involve puns on mathematical terms. The name "Mathmech" is a portmanteau of "mathematics" and "mechanical". The Japanese name for "Mathmech" is Zanki (斬（ザン）機（キ）, lit. "cutting machine"), and it is a pun on keisanki (計（けい）算（さん）機（き）, "calculator"). The name "Geomathmech" used on the archetype's Synchro Monsters is a portmanteau of "geometry" and "Mathmech". The Japanese name for "Geomathmech" is Enzanki (炎（エン）斬（ザン）機（キ）, lit. "flame cutting machine"), and it is a pun on enzan (演（えん）算（ざん）, "operation"). The character en (炎（えん）, "fire") references their FIRE Attribute. The name "Primathmech" used on the archetype's Xyz Monsters is a portmanteau of "prime" and "Mathmech". The Japanese name for "Primathmech" is Kaizanki (塊（カイ）斬（ザン）機（キ）, lit. "clod cutting machine"), and it is a pun on kaizan (改（かい）竄（ざん）, "falsification"). The character kai (塊（かい）, "clod") references their EARTH Attribute.

Design[edit]

The "Mathmech" monsters resemble humanoid robots armed with various types of swords. The Extra Deck "Mathmech" monsters are the combined forms of the "Mathmech" monsters.

Members[edit]

Main Deck Monsters[edit]

The archetype's Main Deck members can be divided into three sub-series based on their visual and thematic designs. Each sub-series includes one Tuner monster.

Playing style[edit]

The "Mathmech" archetype focuses on swarming Level 4 Cyberse monsters in order to perform Synchro, Xyz, and Link Summon plays. Secondarily, the archetype focuses on manipulating monster ATKs, in order to assist in OTKs using their Synchro boss monster "Geomathmech Final Sigma". The "algebra" sub-series, consisting of "Sigma", "Addition", and "Subtraction", are generic Level 4 Cyberse Special Summon extenders (that also Cyberse-lock the player's Extra Deck Special Summons). "Addition" and "Subtraction" also provide a ±1000 ATK stat modification effect when Special Summoning themselves. The "analysis" sub-series, consisting of "Nabla", "Multiplication", and "Division", support Extra Deck plays by providing Summoning from Deck ("Nabla"), Summoning from hand and GY ("Division"), or level modulation ("Multiplication"). If they're sent to the GY, they will also trigger a combat-boosting effect, either providing double attack ("Nabla") or double ATK ("Multiplication") to a friendly Cyberse monster in the Extra Monster Zone, or halving a monster's ATK ("Division"). The "geometry" sub-series provides powerful and varied support effects. "Diameter" revives a Level 4 Cyberse monster when Normal Summoned, and grants a "Mathmech" Synchro/Xyz monster summoned using it as a material an omni-negate in the turn it's summoned. "Circular" is another generic extender, but sends 1 "Mathmech" monster to the GY as cost to Special Summon itself; this can be used to dump the "analysis" monsters for combat boosting effects or later revival, or "Sigma" to immediately Special Summon it with its effect. On the field, "Circular" also searches a "Mathmech" Spell/Trap if a "Mathmech" is summoned. The archetype's Extra Deck monsters consist of 2 Synchro Monsters and 2 Xyz Monsters.

  • "Geomathmech Magma" (Level 8 Synchro) can destroy two cards when it destroys a monster by battle, and can search a "Mathmech" Spell/Trap when it is destroyed.
  • "Geomathmech Final Sigma" (Level 12 Synchro) becomes unaffected by card effects, except for "Mathmech" cards, while it is the Extra Monster Zone, and also deals double battle damage when it battles a monster. Combine this with the archetype's combat boosting effects, and "Final Sigma" can easily perform an OTK on its own.
  • "Primathmech Alembertian" (Rank 4 Xyz, 2+ monsters) can search any "Mathmech" card when Xyz Summoned, and can tribute 1 monster to Special Summon any "Mathmech" from hand or GY. It is an important searcher and combo-enabler for almost all of the deck's combos.
  • "Primathmech Laplacian" (Rank 4 Xyz, 3 monsters) can send up to 3 cards the opponent possesses to the GY when Xyz Summoned (1 each from their hand, S/T zone, and monster zone), and can protect friendly "Mathmech" cards from being destroyed by detaching its materials. It is a formidable board-clearer, and can become a powerful disruption piece if it is summoned with "Mathmech Superfactorial" in the opponent's turn.

The archetype's Spells and Traps allow for revival and ATK boosting with "Mathmech Equation", triggering effects of various "Mathmech" Main Deck monsters with the Equip Spell "Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta", further ATK boosting and card removal with "Mathmech Induction", and Spell Speed 2 Extra Deck Summoning through "Mathmech Superfactorial".
