Hi memnach,
your is just an assumption, there are not useless cards in this decklist.
I suppose you are talking about main
Spellskite and
Relic of Progenitus.
This is a correct meta choice since the T1 decks (burn and delver) suffer a lot from these cards.
Maybe these cards are not useful in a small meta like your local shop but for a bigger event like a GP or PTQ they are great choices.
Have a nice day
