Now for the spells. ED in the end.

 

Σ Logarithms

For this turn only, μ monsters are counted as 2 monsters for the special summoning of a ΣΣμμ monster. You can only activate Logarithms once per duel.

μΣ Calculations (This card is both a Σ card and a μ card, but not a Σμ card.)

 

Draw 3 cards. Then banish 1 Σ and 1 μ card from your hand. If you cannot do so, discard your hand.

 

Σ

(Quick)

Activate only when a Σμ card leaves the field. Draw a card.

 

μ

(Quick)

Activate only when a Σμ card leaves the field. Destroy one card on the field.

 

If (1 Σ1==2 && 1μ1==0) printf("Hello World")

 

Field (It's not a castle this time, but my decks always have field spells for some reason...)

 

You can activate one of the following effects in a turn and only once per turn.

1) If 2 Σ monsters with the same name are on the field, special summon one μ monster from your deck or graveyard.

2) If 2 μ monsters with the same name are on the field, special summon one Σ monster from your deck or graveyard.

3) If a Σ or μ monster would leave the field, you can banish that card until the end phase instead.

You can banish this card from your graveyard, add one Σ or μ card from your graveyard to your hand.

 

Traps

 

Σ Positive energy

 

Banish all μ cards from your side of the field until the end of the turn (At least 1); add one Σ card from your graveyard to your hand. If this card is in your graveyard, you can shuffle it into your deck, then, you can set 1 negative energy from your deck, but it cannot be activated until next turn.

 

μ Negative energy 

 

Banish all Σ cards from your side of the field until the end of the turn (At least 1); add one μ card from your graveyard to your hand. If this card is in your graveyard, you can shuffle it into your deck, then, you can set 1 positive energy from your deck, but it cannot be activated until next turn.

 

The true core of the deck is the energy engine. They search and set each other, and in doing so, you can get constant Σ1 from your graveyard. Both cards further combo with Σ(The card) and μ(The card) as they can not only get the cards from the grave, they can activate the cards, because Σμ cards are both Σ and μ cards. Other than that, chi μ can be banished very easily to gain pluses, and even search positive energy.

I was going to post the link monsters, but it's 11:30 pm, and I'm sleepy. Tomorrow. I'm thinking 3 Σμ, 1 ΣΣμ, 1 Σμμ, and 2 ΣΣμμ, half your extra deck.

I'm not going to hate at all on the deck, I myself love all kinds of maths, but the name doesn't work. Simply specifying "+" or "-" will apply to every card in the game that has a "+" or "-" in its name. Also, the naming convention of using a series of "+" and/or "-" is very confusing, especially in "+ - Calculations", where both are used, but it doesn't count as "+-". Like I said, I love the idea of it all, but simplifying it would be the best course of action. Maybe use the Greek words for "Plus" and "Minus" in place of the symbols, and then use some other niche to clarify the higher level cards.

 I could make it -+ calculations, which might clear up some confusions. To my knowledge, as confirmed by both dueling book and ygopro, there's no card with + in its name. On the other hand, I found 47 pages of cards with - in their names. You made a great point. I really do have to change that. I'll make - into μ and + into Σ, it should help.

 

On a side note, if you like maths, I have another deck based around polyhedral figures, the isohedrons.

[TOPsycho]

I did check out the Hedron deck, I rather like it, but I am a bit of a stickler. Overall, they seem really great, but the names, effects, and functions don't fit with me, but that's just be being weird. I might try to make a Math-related deck that appeals to my own standards, but if I do so, please understand I am not in any way trying to steal your work. I will make sure the effects and playstyle are different. (Most likely based on Platonic Solids)

​As for the name, once again, I understand what you're trying to do, but just having a series of the same characters for the name.

"Penultima ΣΣΣμμμ"

Again, I have no problems with the cards themselves, I'm not trying to force you to change or erase everything, I'm just saying that having a String like that is complex, to say the least. I have no problem with just the symbols being used, such as "Σ Logariths", it's just the string that gets me. I don't know, like I said, I'm finicky. In any case, good job with the cards, I know this must have taken some good amount of time to develop all of these. Keep on Creating!

[Echo27]

I took one look at this and thought: damn this is complicated, I sure hope that these don't actually come into print!

But on closer inspection, the idea seems pretty well developed, just don't really want to give myself a headache trying to work out combos for these. Nice job!
