Playable cards

Good day all. I used to play MTG back in the 90's. Things were quite simpler then. I recently came into a box of cards and there are a bunch of "new" types. I'm wondering if these are usable or what. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here are some examples.

The first image shows the augment mechanic, from an unset. Note the white border. Unsets are not tournament legal, but are designed to be fun and entertaining to play. They don't have to conform to magic rules. They can't be used in formal contexts, but there's nothing wrong with playing with them against a friend, if both of you are ok with it.

The next cards are cards with the Aftermath mechanic. You can cast the first half first. Later on, you can cast the aftermath half from the graveyard for additional value. They are all tournament legal.

Some of the cards, with names but no mana costs, are tokens. They don't have any gameplay significance. Instead, they're used as physical objects representing tokens created during a game.

Other cards are various ads and labels. They also don't have any gameplay significance.

Finally, [[Invasion of Moag]] is the new battle card type. The front face of a battle is horizontal. Because it's a siege, it has a normal back face. You can cast the front face from your hand by paying the mana cost. When it enters the battlefield, you get an effect and pick an opponent to defend it. The battle enters with a number of defense counters equal to the number in the corner. You will be able to attack it during your turn. Whenever it takes damage, remove that amount of defense counters from it. Once you remove all the defense counters from it, you can cast the backside transformed.
