Introduction
"Kozmo" is a TCG-exclusive archetype that premiered in Clash of Rebellions. The "Kozmo" cards seem to be based on properties from The Wizard of Oz and Star Wars.
The archetype consists of LIGHT and DARK-Attribute Psychic-Type "pilot" monsters and Machine-Type "spaceship" monsters who banish themselves to Special Summon other "Kozmo" monsters. The pilot monsters have a Quick Effect to banish themselves from the field to Special Summon any "Kozmo" monster from the hand with a higher Level, while the spaceship monsters have a Trigger Effect to banish themselves from the Graveyard when destroyed to Special Summon any "Kozmo" monster from the Deck with a lower Level.

Playing style
The "Kozmo" strategy focuses on dealing large amounts of damage as fast as possible, by summoning as many as possible "Kozmo" monsters with their own effects. Cards like "Honest", "Juragedo" can also help you to deal great damage to your opponent's LP, also they help to trigger "Kozmo Farmgirl" effect to search more "Kozmo" cards.
Weeknesses
The biggest way to counter "Kozmo" are cards that prevent banishing such as "Imperial Iron Wall", "Chaos Hunter", "Necrovalley", etc. Cutting them off from Special Summoning by means like "Vanity's Emptiness" or "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo" etc can slow a lot the Deck synergy, also cards like "Deck Lockdown", "Debunk", "Mind Drain" and "Soul Drain" can work well against this Deck. "Abyss Dweller" can temporarily stop the Graveyard effects of the ships. "Light-Imprisoning Mirror" is also the easiest way to counter the Deck since it will block both Field and Graveyard effects.
