Is it just me or are those cards actually good and worth playing?

Nah. The only one of those that even seems a little good is Guildpact Informant and even then it's just a worse Thrummingbird. Would have been nice if it had flash like Faeries are wont to have.

That it is a rogue is nice for Edric EDH decks, but at 3 CMC it's not very good.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

The Jace is pretty lame, since the one - is a lot of loyalty for a small payoff for a 6-drop, and the ruse kinda drops with it. Informant is a bad Thrummingbird but you might want any Thrummingbird and this one is a faerie rogue for UB Fairy-related dreams. The Projection is like Chasm Skulker with higher p/t base for a higher cost and less relevant other ability, but Wizard Illusion is a lot more relevant than Squid Horror.
I dunno, I just feel like Jace and his Projection feed off each other really nicely, and you can go White/Blue for Ajani and Teferi to get a deck that's all about drawing cards and boosting dudes and then Jace sends them all at your opponent's face. Maybe it'll suck, but I want to build that.

Nah. Oath of Kaya is fine in any B\W deck with walkers. It kills a thing, pads your life, and kinda needs an answer if the opponent plans to throw bodies at your PWs more then once. It’s just general good anti-Aggro for a SuperFriends deck that will generally want some protection against rushdown. It’s pretty dead against control unless you got something to do with the enchantment laying on the field so for some decks it’ll be more a sideboard then a main tho.

Yeah, and its seems to be made for a superfriends-type deck as a sorcery-speed lightning helix that incidentally leaves behind a enchantment.

This is like the most exaggerated thing in politics. Some of the voters who didn't get their candidate in the primary will vote for the opposing candidate basically always (see: Hillary voters in '08 and Kasich/Rubio voters in '16).

So far, the only thing I've seen is that 4 mana artifact that etb tapped and taps for two mana of any color. I really wonder if the new Niv will be at all playable in limited.
