Used to love it because how ridiculously powerful this is. Easily 12 damage the turn after, or card advantage up to +4.
Of course, it didn't stay ridiculous for too long because of a certain other deck... but hey, RDW is one of the only two decks that remained competitive when affinity dominated, and it owed a lot to this card (often powered out by Seething Song).

Hello MasterOfEtherium, I kind of don't see the synergy between Balthor and Arc-Slogger, nor the synergy between Arc-Slogger and Demigod.

Go ahead... Laugh if you want, but this guy was in my state PTQ deck... Ol Slogger scares people when he hits the board!!! They think to themselves "This guys crazy!!! He just might use him..." and for good reason... Every game ended with me having 10 or less cards left in my deck... Every game went close to this...
Round 1: crom mox , mountain, spark elemental, spell bomb: take 3
Round 2: mountain, top, srapmetal blast: take 5
Round 3: mountain, seething song, Slogger: remove 10, take 2
Round 4: mountain, pulse of the fordge, remove 20 take out any creatures, swing, take 8
Round 5: mountain, remove 10, take 2 ..... Win...Player 1:" good game!!! How many cards you have left in your deck???" me: "Let me see.... 7, wow that was close!!!"
I beat affinity twice, and it beat me twice... The two times I lost Slogger didn't hit the board.... the two I won, he delt the winning blows... 4.5/5.... He should not be under 4..... He wins too many games when he's on the board... I love this card..... (see all)

Would be a great card to combo with Feldon's Cane if it didn't outright exile the cards from the library.

the fact that it exiles the cards is the really bad part, its a good creature, just with an ability with the value of an antique, useless at first, and better later.
if it just discarded the cards, wheel of sun and moon would let you cycle your library till you hit your ultimate combo

Is this broken or just bad? Can you activate it on an empty library?

well great, you can't really abuse him since they exile. It should be 1 damage but to your gravyard, so, wheel of sun and moon could work. Maybe that would break him some but not as much as djinn illuminatus and lightningbolt

The lab maniac comments make a good point, don't forget to include Misthollow Griffin in your deck for backup. It's easy to forget that he hits creatures, but when your aim is to exile your library being able to do that to keep the board under control is far more important than player burn.

I used to think this card was bad. Past me is dumb.
He gives so much reach. If the opponent drops below six life with this thing out they just die.
