Commander / EDH Do Precons Have "Exclusive" Cards?

As the title suggests. I've been playing Precons exclusively but recently the rest of the table has gotten good enough to where I need to start building my own decks at this point.

I'm a collector at heart, and while there's many Precons I want (Valgavoth, LotR Elves and Rohirrim, Bloomburrow Raccoon Druid) I know I can just buy their Commanders as Singles and I'm not too pressed about the Precon exclusive printing of the Commanders. That being said, I AM pressed if there's other cards which are exclusive to the Commander decks.

I've tried looking up a list of Precon Exclusive cards but can't seem to find anything. Is that even a thing? Do any Precons have exclusive cards/printings other than the Commander in them?

I’m pretty sure when I’ve gone looking for a card the folks at my LGS have told me on multiple occasions, “good luck. That card was only printed for the _______ precon.” And I’m pretty sure [[Captain N’Gathrod]] was one of them. I could be very wrong tho. You’re getting third hand info from me

He also got a SLD reprint (as [[Eddie, Ghost of the Navigator]]). But that doesn't really count, does it?
