It's marginally helpful, and I can honestly say that there were some games where a Grip would have kept me in the game and some games where having the Duress was crucial for stopping that early CB. Overall though, the inclusion of Duress has more positives than negatives. I really miss having the hand information, and stealing CB and/or Top is golden. Another thing about MD Grip is that A) it sucks off Ad Nauseum and B) you usually have to give up a Mystical for it. That means slowing yourself down A LOT and possibly giving them enough time to come back with Rhox War Monk.
Post board games were awesome with the new Carpet rule changes. I bring in 11 cards vs them and I absolutely love how g2 and g3 play now with the Swarm/Carpet split.
