I know this spring season for PTQ's is qualifiers for PT Hollywood, but for the life of me I cannot find a comprehensive list of where all of these will take place!
Can anyone help me with a link, I need to find all the PTQ's in my area and start planning trips.
Link for PTQ locations and times please? Anyone?

A wizard who reads a thousand books is powerful, a wizard who memorizes a thousand books is insane.
most of the dates and locations have been set, but wizards has yet to post their list so for now you just have to check around. I know that starcity has already listed the PTQs that they will be organizing.
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
Ummm..Gifts Rock WRECKS Affinity AND Zoo. Collective Restraint seems really bad for Aggro players. If anything..in a field THAT dominated by Gifts Rock, I'd expect to see combo/combo-ish strategies take the win. Against something like Ideal, Gifts Rock HAS TO pull off early discard/disruption to win..otherwise, it's game over. And quite clearly, Chase Rare Control is REALLY good..period.
But to think Affinity (which isn't even a tier 1 build right now, IMO) and Zoo (which is top tier, but just doesn't seem THAT strong against a field that is HATING it right now) are THE decks? That's just silly.

no one said they were the decks... i was making a joke. I also havent sarted testing this extended season yet so i did not know the current builds of zoo get rolled by gifts. My bad lol
from my testing on modo, its pretty much countertoptog and a ton of randoms
i think affinity and gaeas as has been sarnathed will rise as they own this meta
*points to the plethora of Gifts Rock builds in the T8*
How does any Aggro build rise to the top of a meta filled with a deck that HATES on aggro...HARD.
What do Affinity and Zoo do when Collective Restraint hits the board? Cry...
And then they sit there and continue crying as you drop a couple of Hierarchs and gain 8 life..putting you safely out of Lavamancer range while you draw into kill spells. And then they really start balling as you recur your kill spells with Genesis/Witness and slowly pick apart their defenses to let your Hierarchs swing FTW.
And Affinity? Living Wish for Kataki...and they just die. Period.
Again..Affinity isn't even top tier right now..and Zoo..while a solid build..is just too easy to hate.
What we have really are three VERY solid decks in CounterTopGOYF (not Tog), Enduring Ideal, and Gifts Rock...and a bunch of other decks trying HARD to keep up and failing miserably.
Vindicate? or burn out the player who spent 4 on the enchantment?
Ummm...reading the whole thread seems in order, champ. Suwabara, who played in the event, stated that the field was 50% Gifts Rock. And there were two Rock decks in the T8 @ Valencia..Rus and Barra.
And I'm wondering how you burn out a player who is still likely at 10+ life in a single turn? I think what we're forgetting is that this is a deck that runs chumps that help the deck (STE) and Hierarchs that gain the deck life...repeatedly.
well since I was responding to the plethora of gift rock in the top8 And I did read the whole thread.
If 50% of the field in NY was Giftrock and only 1 made top 8 then that's a terrible choice And 1 of the rock decks at the Valencia top 8 wasn't a gift rock deck either, just a normal rock deck
Gift Rock is a very good deck if given ample time to set up it's superior cards, the problem is that it doesn't always happen, or you draw the wrong combination of superior cards Zoo and Affinity are very good at punishing players with average draw.....

Yes i am the same guy who trades/sells on MOTL AND Wizards of the Coast and i trade on POJO.

Since drawing a 3-of in a deck with as much library manipulation as it does is unheard of...?
Ideal is good, don't get me wrong. But the fact that it has such a critical weakness to a card that's played relatively widely will hold it back, imo.
2-of dude
Yes i am the same guy who trades/sells on MOTL AND Wizards of the Coast and i trade on POJO.
Yes, drawing both of a 2 of is lucky (early to early midgame)
Okay?

And are proper capitalization and grammar that difficult?
