That's where I was going with the mountain thing.

Yeah I wasn't arguing over turn 1 stalker thats pretty much impossible?? Turn 2 and turn 3 extremely rare too. So you are completely right on that point.

Lastly, I don't see why you feel you can't have RPD kill tombstalker with slogger in your deck anyway. "He ruins hellbent" is not that valid, it really does not come up that often. And if you have the mana to truly make your opponent fear and block with one of his ~8 win cons in the deck, then I think you can probably just race the tombstalker or have time to draw a mountain and play the slogger.

You didn't really address the fundamental arguments of what I was saying about slogger. But whatever. You like lotus petal. I like arc slogger. I think I'm right, you secretly know I'm right, but we'll just leave it at that. Plenty of discussion has happened enough about arc-slogger.
This. Also, you don't use all of the cards in your library when playing, so what is the issue in milling 30-40 cards? I'm doing it all the time. Generally speaking I see like 10-12 cards total in a single game. Arc-Slogger can trade those useless 40 cards for 8 dmg, which is almost half of your opponent's life total. Combine this with a 4/5 body which steals the other 12 life, and you have obtained victory.
