What hand disruption effect?

I'm looking to play BW midrange list post rotation and have a pptq two days after rotation so the meta won't be know properly at that point.
At the moment I'm between Duress , Transgress the Mind , Pick the Brain and possibly Infinite Obliteration
Any opinions will be great, I'll post my deck list in the comments for reference.
Pick the Brain hits the hand much later so I believe Duress and Transgress the Mind offer more value.
Also Delerium is not always easy to achieve, especially by the time you want to cast Pick the Brain.
IMO Infinite Obliteration gives more value when Sided in, as you know what targets you want to remove.

Main deck, some number of duress and transgress but not more than two of each. Infinite obliteration in the sideboard as a two off. Pick the brain is bad, like proper bad. I wouldn't play it

Delirium isn't a thing, so with that in mind Invasive surgery is a no.
Is your BW midrange deck Eldrazi? Transgress the mind may be better for you. Exiling it has many benefits (Den protector etc) and sets up a nice turn 3 wasteland strangler. Yes transgress is only for cmc 3 or more, but to be honest given the number of planeswalkers and strong creatures (Avacyn, Ulamog, Drana, Weird frog thing etc) i prefer this.
Duress though works wonders, and works really well if you are running a lot of taplands as it only costs the one. Many games i've dropped a shambling vent turn one, a battle land on turn 2 and tapped the vent for for the duress. You can kind of get away with using more tap lands and this not be affected too much.
No right answer, i'm a fan of both and literally can't remember the last time i made a list without one of the two.

It's not eldrazi, need to change it up a bit with so much removal in the Meta. Currently on 3 duress and 2 transgress but could see that switching.

Why 5 bits of hand disruption? Is your Meta that stacked with Esper control?
I'm running 4 transgress solely for wasteland stranglers and it hurts my soul as a top deck later in the game.

In the sideboard. My matchup against control and chandra is pretty bad.
