Howdy pard'ner... welcome to Texas!

The Calling returns to Dallas-Fort Worth, so draw your weapons and have at it!

We're launching straight into the action on Saturday with Day 1 of the Calling. Have a crack at taking on the best there is in Classic Constructed, and if everything goes fine and dandy you could win the Gold Foil Crown of Providence, a PTI, and a cowboy's share of $20,000 USD! But there's only room for one sheriff round these parts - Day 2 will weed out the rest until only the Calling Champion remains standing.

If you're brave enough to step into the ring, take a shot at Sunday's Battle Hardened. With a Gold Foil, PTI, exclusive playmat, and cash prize up for grabs, it's gonna be one heck of a show, yessiree!

That's not all, we'll have a whole herd of side events out here on the range, so be sure to check the event schedule once it's up and running!

Hosted by the phenomenal Star City Games, this ain't your grandma's Calling, so come on down to Cowtown and show us what yer made of!

The path to the biggest stage in Flesh and Blood TCG Organized Play begins with a Professional Tournament Invitation (PTI), and one of the best places to secure these prized assets is Battle Hardened with PTIs awarded to both finalists! You read that correctly, there is not one but two PTIs on offer at Battle Hardened, along with a heap of other great prizes!

PTIs can be used to enter any Professional level tournament, including Pro Tours and the World Championship, and do not expire, compared to invitations from ProQuest events that are only valid for the associated Pro Tour event they feed.
