The "nine lives" gag is still there, the stealing opponent's cards is there, but the focus on artifacts, though flavorful, was eventually deemed too narrow
Deflecting Swat Deflecting Swat is one of the best red cards in Commander, which says a lot considering the cycle of free spells it hails from
It also doesnt hurt that this is by far the cheapest tier 1 deck in the format -- no Goyfs required
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
Due to this, theres no reason to think that Wizards couldnt keep printing Play Boosters for as long as needed
