My current BG Midrange deck (11 Feb 2017)

There are different reasons to play this deck instead of Jund or Abzan.The main reason it the 4 Ghost Quarters that behave like actual spells in many matchups.Playing only two colors you don't hove to worry too much about mana fixing so you can run more manlands. You play 9 utility/man lands vs the 4 of Jund/Abzan so you suffer mana flooding less.Color screw is also reduced because you have one less color to worry about.You play less fetches/shocklands and the need to fetch for a shockland is reduced so you save some life points: this saved resource is used to play more copies of powerful but life expensive cards: 9 cards (4 Thoughtseize, 3 Dark Confidant, 1 Bitterblossom) vs usually 6 of Jund/Abzan

Ghost Quarter before side and Ghost Quarter/Fulminator + Surgical Extraction/Extirpate after side is a good plan against Tron. Jund and Abzan rely on less versatile cards to beat Tron or just hope to avoid it that in my opinion is not a good plan.

What you may be missing by playing only two colors is Terminate and Kolaghan's Command from Jund and Lingering Souls from Abzan. On the sideboard you lose the access to versatile cards such as Stony Silence and Ancient Grudge: Creeping Corrosion is a good replacement but you use in a reduced variety of matchups.
