"Cosmic Dragon" (, Ryūsei) is an archetype of monsters that are set to debut in The Duelist Advent. So far, all the monsters of this archetype are Genryu-Type, which is a new monster Type also debuting in the same set. They resemble Dragon-like creatures, but with a slight appearance of Beasts, either by having a mane and/or tiger stripes, as well as Beast-like paws and claws; also, they have a bead inside a triangle on their chest and 3 others on their horns.

The Main Deck monsters focus on maintaining field presence by Special Summoning one another when they are destroyed. In addition, each of the non-Tuners is capable of Synchro Summoning during your opponent's Main Phase or Battle Phase, like "Urgent Tuning" or "T.G. Wonder Magician", and give extra abilities to the Synchro Monster that they were used to Summon, as follows:

The Tuner monster of the archetype, "Chiwen, Cosmic Dragon of Light", follows the trend of many Tuner monsters, such as "Plaguespreader Zombie" and "Soaring Eagle Above the Searing Land", by Special Summoning itself from the Graveyard in order to assist a Synchro Summon and being banished when it leaves the Field, if Special Summoned by its own effect.

"Gongfu, Cosmic Dragon of Brilliance" is the ace card of the archetype and, when Synchro Summoned, it can shuffle cards from the Field into the Deck, up to the number of original Attributes of Genryu-Type monsters used for its Synchro Summon. It can also destroy 1 card you control in order to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from your Graveyard, setting up more Synchro Summons by not only bringing back a possible "Cosmic Dragon" monster but also by destroying a "Cosmic Dragon" and triggering its effect.

Another feature is the diversity of Attributes, that is emphasized in cards like "Cosmic Dragon Leyline" and the aforementioned Synchro Monster.

Weakenesses
Since their effects rely on swarming the field, mainly when combined with "Cosmic Dragon Incarnation", cards like "El-Shadoll Midrash" and "Summon Breaker" can slow down the Deck. Cards that purely prevent Special Summons, such as "Vanity's Emptiness" and "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo" are also good counters against them. "Soul Drain" and "Deck Lockdown" can prevent them from Special Summoning another one from the Deck when destroyed and, once they main focus is on Synchro Summoning, "Grisaille Prison" and "Discord" can also be used. The variety of Attributes also makes them vulnerable to "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan", "Gozen Match" and "Battle of the Elements".
