Well, that is definatly a valid point, and the loss of proactive disruption is somewhat unfortunate. Defense Grip is rather poor, and I've cut it in favor of metagame slots, as it simply wasn't up to par. The advantages of this slower disruption are definatly large, however. Xantid Swarm allows you to win through any number of problematic spells, whereas Duress/Cabal Therapy don't always hit all their disruption. Also, the card advantage provided by Dark Confidant is incredible against control, allowing you many more "outs" around their counters. Last, by playing with men, you gain two advantages; the ability to play superior cards and a decreased dependancy on storm. The damage from Trinket Mage and/or Dark Confidant really helps this deck, allowing it to win easily off a much lower storm count. As for superior cards, the ability to play Culling the Weak is outstanding. It is essentially a Cabal Ritual that always has threshold as well as being easier to cast, and thereby is immesurably useful in general. All in all, from my testing the benefits of using slower disrutpion far outweigh the penalties, even though it is only relevant game 1, as there should be Duress and/or Cabal Therapy sideboard for control matchups.
