Notes & Combos
I wanted to do the entire climb with Kozmo, one of my favorite decks back in TCG, since I noticed it would perform good in this heavy targeting meta after Sky Strikers got relevant, adjusting the list while testing it (for example, I tried Level 5 Reload with Anchamoufrites and it's just not that great in my opinion, but Stormraze is probably the best neutral one just for the LP Gain), and decided to stay on Sealed Tombs, since Wickedwitch is an instant activator for the skill which disables turn 2 of very hard matchups for this deck to deal with, like Zombies/Shiranui variants, T.G. and more.
Kozmo hard counters two of the most popular decks on ladder at the moment, that are Sky Striker and BEWD. Dark Destroyer is VERY strong in these matchups.
I probably never actually lost even once vs Sky Striker simply because they can't deal with untargetable ships continuously, and pilots easily dodge their interruptions. This also happens in the BEWD matchup, Successor Soul pretty much becomes useless.
I opted to include Dark Eclipser because it's good to have a guaranteed untargetable ship to search with Tincan ready to go for next turn, especially vs the afromentioned two before. I have cut Strawman simply because i think it's too slow to run in this meta.
I also included 3x Crows instead of running Lim3 since this deck if goes 2nd vs Zombie/Maya/Shira/TGs mainly, and they setup interactions like Halberd negating your normal summon or other shenanigans with the recent overtuned skills, simply folds. Turn 1 is already powerful enough with all the tools available to run.
I included some replays of the last 10 games I played in the notes as well.
Thanks for reading, and may the Force be with you (Coping for Konami to make an actual dedicated skill for Kozmo that makes you start with Kozmotown on board...)
