Obsidian Arrows is to give you a reason to consider going for Arbalesters over Plumed Archers, along with the fact that Arbs also have +1 attack which can mean a significant damage boost vs. high pierce armour units. For example, Arabalesters take 60 arrows to kill a Paladin, while Elite Plumed Archers take 90.

Mayan Two-Handed Swordsman are used in Meso or Mayan mirror matches where Eagle Warriors come into play. While Plumed Archers are a decent soft counter to Eagles due to their +2 bonus, THS are a hard counter with their +8 bonus.

IMO Obsidian Arrows should be changed to Galleys have +1 attack instead. This gives Mayans a definite boost on water maps. Plus it won't overlap with the Saracen civ and team bonus either.
