Yeah, they definitely would. But I only have 3 coppies and they are in another deck. And I hate switching cards between decks, so unless I am able to trade some more of them, this deck is stuck without them.

For some time, I was trying to play with dodges, but disengages just slowly made their way in. We always had somewhat combatish metagame and canceling grapples or using press to end against carrion+aid is the best combo I have find for this deck. I mean Gotsdam is 9-cap in block deck and he has to pay for himself. if he is taken down by one grapple or carrions with few presses, it is pretty much endgame. I know there are only 3 coppies, but they work very well. For press to end most of the time I admit.

Aha. One other question - Disengage, do you think they´re worth it? Lots of Grapple-combat in your meta?

I run Charismatic Aura with gotsdam. But, attrition combat with fortitude holds up better than no fortitude against stuff, so grapples are possibly a problem since Gotsdams ability seems to be how he mitigates the blood loss of combat when blocking.
