Is an AMD RX 470 Mining edition good to play?
It's so cheap, why tho? Does it work?

The answer is in the title. This is a mining card, meaning that you have very limited display out(Only DVI for this one, I think) and has a mining bios, meaning you'll have to force flash it to even make it works. So, no, not a good choice.

Don't waste time, or money on that, and if this has no ports, it's completely useless for gaming, which would make a lot of sense why it's dirt cheap.

After the bitcoin crash last year in Jan 2018, a lot of people try to get rid of them, since the value plummeted, the people see no value as the cost of electricity out weight the the amount you make for mining, people that held on, bought up the mining GPU's that people try to get rid of, and kept on mining, until the hash rate became really bad, which then they started to get rid of them because the cost of electricity is really bad for mining it, so even more people try to get rid of it, but some people wouldn't buy, and overtime price kept on going down, especially the mining edition cards, which why they don't have the same value as the normal GPU versions.
