So glad they went with Huatli, I buy starter decks as a base for other decks and Dino tribal my next deck.

That Jace is probably too slow for standard by a turn, but may almost be playable in EDH - I'd certainly run him before Jace, Memory Adept and he's arguably better than Jace, Unraveler of Secrets in the right list (i.e. one that can exploit his other +1 ability to draw tons of extra cards or gain tons of extra mana, which is most Wizard decks and G/U decks). The new 'walker rules make him a little more enticing for mono-blue or two color decks by a fair amount. His tutor card isn't awful in EDH either - it's basically an Undo + cantrip that always draws a planeswalker, which is not at all bad.
Cool to see a new, native 'walker in Hautli. As for her playability...dinosaurs seem like Timmy.tribe, and she seems pretty poor even in a Dino deck as you need a decent board presence for her to do ANYTHING. Great for newbies though.

Wow, I know these are planeswalker deck cards and not supposed to be good... but DAMN Huatli is terrible.
EDIT: Also, we get an entire set of basic lands that feature Jace. As if people didn't already hate Jace enough. I'm kind of surprised we didn't get Jace riding a dinosaur in a pirate hat here... but preview season is just beginning.
(Why bother printing that as a newly-named and unique card in a sealed product and still have it be so bad? I get limited removal being priced for limited power and as such Claustrophobia might be considered too strong for limited, but printing a card in a deck like this is a chance to print a card in the in-between land of still not good enough for constructed but better than limited-chaff).
Ugh, why does all the art for Woodland Stream have to be so great? You can't play that card anywhere!
Depending on what other cheap Dinosaurs there are, Huatli's Snubhorn could actually make it into the Dinosaur deck - if there is one. A 2/2 Vigilance for 1W isn't too bad with tribal support.
That Island is pretty sweet. The Swamp is the worst of the bunch of course, because you can clearly see Jace in the art Jace's looks and physique are all over the place btw. Jace, Ingenious Mind-Mage looks a lot more buff than Jace, Cunning Castaway and the Jace on the box itself looks different, too...
It happens when you use different artists. Comic book characters end up the same way.

I was actually about to post that card is a really good common bear. It definitely could if it has enough support I agree. Shame it won't be in actual packs for drafting, would have been a solid common pick.

I wish they'd at least let these PW deck cards show up in packs in foil. They're counted as part of the set, but make it impossible to foil out everything.

Nice, an entire set of basic lands I don't have to worry about getting. Man those Planeswalkers are underwhelming, I mean at least the 7 drop walkers had splashy enough effects to be interesting in EDH, but these just seem bad in everything.
The snubhorn seems really solid. One of my big pet peeves about dragon tribal is how little they have going on below 4 CMC, and I'm glad that dinos don't have the same problem.

You know what. That's actually not a terrible thing to bring up to someone. Though I suppose the Duel Deck cards are their own sheet and it would be ridiculous to turn that into a redundant foil sheet.

It's not impossible for them to print cards that only show up on the foil sheet. There's at least one example I know of.

I hate their article writing style so much.

Well, the planeswalker card goes all-out on the Dinosaur theme in an unsatisfying way, too. I'll be impressed if the deck plays well.
