Arc-Slogger is a very powerful card, but it's power is generally overlooked. Ignoring it's ability, it is a 4/5 for five mana in red, which is powerful by itself. Add on that in a game you can push through the last four or five points of damage with it's ability, and you have a great red creature.

One of the best hated cards in all of magic.

The 4/5 body for 5 mana alone is enough to make it playable.
It's effectively a repeatable Shock if you have the cards to spare.
Excellent card.

Haha, omg, I want to see more creature abilities with a cost like that! 5/5 for sheer hilarity.

I've always liked this card. It's p/t cost is great, and the ability can make that last push through easier once you pop defenders off directly.
Then there's the name's distinctly european beer sounding name...which friend's and I have always got a laugh out of. (Arc's Lager)

Battle of Wits deck, anyone?
Anyway, I hear people saying its ability can be used with an empty library. If I'm not mistaken, that is not true. The exiling is a cost, not an effect, so you cannot use the ability unless you can pay for it, meaning having 1 red mana in your mana pool and having 10 or more cards in your library. I could be wrong. Where's an Oracle ruling when you need it?

Yeah, never use its ability until you can kill someone with it.

By the time he gets out, you should have at least 40 cards left playing a non-mill deck. Dealing 12 damage up until that point isn't hard, and that'd be game. 4.5/5.

A good card made even better in the EDH format where you'll have an additional 40 cards to toss

This is an awesome card. I have 4 of them. Get them now before they get too hot.. Ramping into this creature with rituals for turn 1 is fun.
