If that action or ability doesnt say May or can, then technically that part of that ability must happen
In addition to being a solid standalone Commander, Vial Smashers ability to pile on damage makes it a solid inclusion in Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls decks, which have even popped up in cEDH from time to time
Into the Inklands will offer two starter decks, over 200 new cards to collect, as well as new playmats and deck boxes
Some of the stronger reprints in these Commander decks include: Rise of the Dark RealmsRise of the Dark Realms (Revival Trance) Ruinous UltimatumRuinous Ultimatum (Revival Trance) Bastion ProtectorBastion Protector (Limit Break) Champion's HelmChampion's Helm (Limit Break) Conqueror's FlailConqueror's Flail (Limit Break) Clever ConcealmentClever Concealment (Limit Break) Generous PatronGenerous Patron (Counter Blitz) Walking BallistaWalking Ballista (Counter Blitz) Sublime EpiphanySublime Epiphany (Scions & Spellcraft) Snuff OutSnuff Out (Scions & Spellcraft) Final JudgmentFinal Judgment (Scions & Spellcraft) Overall, reprint playability appears to be pretty widespread among the different precons, but in terms of value, Limit Break has this in spades
Out of 204 cards, just 33 are new, while 171 have been seen before
The Borderless version is also the absolute definition of a collectors item if I've ever seen one, and proving to have plenty of interest as well
