Sidedeck:

3x 7/1 Feline Spike +1L [good]
4x 2/5 Destiny [chaos][good]
1x Leave at Dawn

Uses chaos control, anti-control and momentum generation to smash with fire rolling storm + 8th Bill. Mentally Unstable can be used to loop rolling or the 8th Bill. Tag along can recur rolling (or feline) and chain it off good. Feline Spike is used to battle anti-multiple cards, and Destiny for CC-Hax.

NIce deck. Promo Talim with Rolling Storm and 8th Bill is verrry lethal!

If i may make a couple suggestions, especially since you're keeping this B2 (or, in my opinion Current Standard Format) ...

I would replace Military Combat Arts with MIA, since you're actually using this card as a momentum gen. MIA checks better and still nets you two momentum.

I would replace Oral Dead with Kabuki Artist, and i would also replace Tag Along with The Better K.

This would help stream line this build and make it more Aggro centric.

Oh, and I would also make room for two copies of Widow Maker by taking out one Seal of Cess and one Pieces of 8. Po8, in particular, plays a little too slowly for Promo Talim, imo.

You can't escape is fun, especially since you need that one more card in the card pool for the 8th bill

Thanks for the comments. While M.I.A. checks better, I only own 1 copy, and I still would prefer Military Combat Arts, because of the lower difficulty, block, cost (doesn't destroy itself, and even if negated I get 1 momentum) and the fact that can be used in the opponent's turn and takes 1 card away from him.

Kabuki Artist is a good idea but I prefer Tag Along, specially because of the R which can be decessive. I found out that The Better K' is not really needed. I use Oral Dead a lot against those damned Olcadan's (and any other F's), while saving Red Lotus for something else. Pieces of 8 and SoC are needed in full both to survive and to get your kill through (and SoC is the only counter to absurd strength's R, other than Lesser of Many Evils), and Pieces of 8's F is also very strong. I considered Widow Maker (could also help against anti-multiple cards) but I just couldn't find the room for it.

You can't escape is quite fun but I'd run The Better K' before it. Usually the extra card for the 8th bill is one of the 12 ones with infinity.

The card I'm considering including is The Anti-K', works well with the 8 handsize and can be used as a spam foundation or average block, while the action also allows to move your hand.

Leave at Dawn could be taken out but there is quite heavy discard here (bitter rivals, saikyo ryu, the ways of punishment, etc).
