I may want Animation Module for my Vorel deck. At least it's something that works with charge counters. With Master Biomancer, I believe it triggers again when the Servo enters, allowing you to pay 1 for another 3/3 Servo and repeat the process. That's pretty cool.
Gearhulks appear to be the new titans. All three spoiled so far have sweet etb effects. Green is a little meh, but it's still 8 power for 5 cmc and those +1+1 counters are great on certain commanders. White is tragic arrogance on a stick, which was already a good card in edh and the gearhulk is strictly better as it can be recurred and gives you a creature if you don't have a better one to keep. The blue one only gets instants, but still flashing it in to pull a counterspell out of your graveyard then swinging for 5 on your turn seems good. I like the power level so far. They don't seem overly broken but are definite adds for certain decks.
Tragic Arrogance is better in that the caster chooses all the permanents, while the Gearhulk allows each player to choose for themselves. I agree that Gearhulk has some advantages, but that's a significant difference.

The new Chandra is definitely the most versatile and the only one that competes with it for raw power is Pyromaster. Others can be situationally better as mentioned earlier. Nissa's ult and regrowth are good but I'm not totally impressed. She seems like she could top a RG aggro deck in standard but doesn't seem great for us unless she can regularly ult (I don't have to name the enchantment do I?). Blue Hulk looks sweet. How good it is will depend on when it is better than Taigo and Primordial but artifact is a niche and it is big. It also won't cost a million dollars when printed so I imagine it'll put in work. I'd put it in Animar if I cared about instants in that deck, but I don't.
EDIT: I did not expect those PW deck cards. Those are craptastic.

We were already told about those months ago and were warned as well that they wouldn't be designed as competitively viable. It's a product for new players, and I think they do their job there fine.

I mean the nissa could be mildly alright in a Superfreinds deck that's in 3 colors rather than 5.
They're a fine stepping stone for someone learning Magic to get used to playing with Planeswalkers. They can be hard to wrap your head around at first, even if you've already got a decent grasp on the basics of the game.
I love the Modules as a new self-perpetuating combo engine that has utility in its individual parts. A great update to Summoning Station and friends. Little engines like this are some of my favorite durdly things to do in a game when I just want to have fun.

I didn't anticipate the extent to which the first half of that statement would be true. I just figured clunky rather than weak. Still, I think the new products will be excellent for new players... just not for EDH.

Intro Pact Nissa I can actually see played in slower Metas. I really like her as a durdly card. She is weak enough to not draw attention but also generates value in mana and cards. A -4 to draw 2, with a +3 is really quite nice. I would honestly be tempted to run her in some of my slower decks.
That said, I am looking forward to my new friend Flash Hulk.
So you flash in your blue Gearhulk, targeting Paradoxical Outcome, saving your creatures from a wrath and drawing a bunch. Then you have Gearhulk ready to roll again. Synergy!
I'm thinking of Outcome in a stax list, and how nice it'd be to bounce a board of tax pieces or orbs, reset monoliths, and vaults, and draw a card for each piece you pick up. Obviously it's potentially amazing, but it's encroach on roles already covered by spells like Chain of Vapor, which are almost always better for most stax situations since you can target opponents with them.
The beat + threaten -6 mode is interesting, but the -6 isn't really that great. Definitely nowhere near "you win"
If you want a regrowth that leaves a beater behind, she compares badly to greenwarden of murasa in this format IMO
