I dont know how updated the Primer currently is, and how active Mastodon is. However, I would personally love to work on a primer for Abzan/Rock if you guys wish so!

Honestly, Delver's primers are so much better and updated.
I was jamming BG Tron yesterday and checked out the primer, and it's so out of date and useless it shouldn't even exist
That Jund primer though! so good!
If you can't get in touch with Mastadon contact a different person, it's clear he doesn't really visit this site anymore.
GB Rock is kind of going through a phase, I don't think it's better than jund or junk, I just think GBx is doing so poorly in general the community is trying something new.
I understand the need for extra threats if the decks are very different, for example Blue Tron and Gx Tron or Grixis Shadow and Traverse Shadow, but Rock and Abzan are very similar decks.
I disagree about splitting Abzan from Rock: more and more, the Abzan lists are simply becoming GB Rock + Lingering Souls (and Stony Silence in the sideboard). It makes sense for Rock and Jund to be in separate threads, since Red changes the deck significantly (different threats, different spells, different relation to Blood Moon).
That said, if Stoneforge Mystic is unbanned, that MAY bring a wedge between GB Rock and Abzan. Until then, I think it's better if they share a thread.
I contacted Mastodon about the primer. Depending on whether or not Mastodon will read that message, i can start working on a new primer sooner or later. Latest in 7 days though.
So it would be best to seperate Abzan from Rock and create 2 different threats? Is there anybody against this?
I marginally prefer they stay together since I don't want to subscribe to too many threads. Straight Rock hasn't historically been that popular anyway. Who knows if its çurrent level of popularity will last.
Alright, the most want to keep it it in the same thread, so I want to do so. It would be a lot of copy and paste anyway, since basically all of Rocks cards are in Abzan decks also present. Biggest difference are the colourless lands and mandlands and a few removal spells. THat will just get a seperate section in the primer.
Anyone else feel that FlyingDelver should take over and create separate primers for GB Rock and Abzan Midrange?
This primer is a messy reading IMO.
I am doing my best

Basically its ok for me either way, just want to make the best out of what people want.
I'm not too high on Rock though, it feels like it's just a desperate phase GBx players are going through.
If the meta gets very fair Abzan is in a good place.
I feel Abzan is attacking decks that Traverse Shadow is better suited for, it's clearly so it can have game against the Jeskai decks.
I was mentally tired piloting gbx which I'm so familiar with, can't imagine doing that with a counter deck.
I plan to sell the blue staples that don't go into grixis. I'll stick with gbx if I want to go a fair route with removal
