With[]
While his stats are below average for a 3 zombie, his ability can be potentially rewarding. Many sports cards are cheap, even a majority of the expensive cards only cost up to 4 to play. And if this card Conjures one, that card will cost significantly less, and will even be free in some cases.
Here is the list of all the cards that Cosmic Sports Star can Conjure, as well as the cost that will appear when they are Conjured.
Among these, Defensive End or All-Star Zombie are perhaps the best zombies Conjurable by Cosmic Sports Star, as they can be played immediately the next turn, and they will be immune to most tricks for a few turns. Combine this with Gargologist, and Defensive End will cost even less. Other good zombies to Conjure are Planetary Gladiator, Brain Vendor, and Rodeo Gargantuar. However, he can also Conjure weaker ones like Baseball Zombie.
If you play as Neptuna or The Smash, you can Bounce him with Firefighter or Secret Agent respectively, in order to play him again and Conjure another sports card. Additionally, Neptuna can play him while Dr. Spacetime is on the field to reduce the cost further.
Since both Cosmic Sports Star and the card he Conjures are both in the sports tribe, they can benefit from Team Mascot and Zombie Coach. Chum Champion is also a good card to use with him, as he can Evolve on Cosmic Sports Star or the card he Conjures. Cosmic Sports Star can also be used with Dino-Roar cards, as his ability counts as you drawing a card.
Against[]
Cosmic Sports Star is relatively weak, and can be easily taken out with cards such as Morning Glory or Banana Bomb. However, his ability have a potential to be dangerous, and you should expect cheaper, or even free cards to come in your way. Because he is a Sports, it is best to get rid of him before the zombie hero plays Team Mascot to make him harder to remove and Zombie Coach, who can then protect the Conjured card, Cosmic Sports Star, and himself.
