My Magic Madness
What is it?
MMM is a Modern tournament series in Berlin, organized by SpielFilmMusik. Every two months there is an MMM Showdown, a tournament consisting of Swiss rounds and a top 8 single-elimination bracket after. In December, there are the MMM Finals where we crown the MMM champion for the year.
Your match points at those showdowns (3 per victory, 1 per draw) accumulate throughout the year and will be used to determine the end-of-year top 16 in December.
The MMM Finals in December are special:
- First, there is a Swiss event open to everyone. The person in first place directly qualifies to the top 16.
- Afterwards, we have a top 16 single-elimination bracket.
The overall top 16 will be:
- The winners of each MMM Showdown and the winner of the Swiss portion of the MMM finals.
- The players with the highest points throughout the season, until we have 16 players.
If a player wins multiple MMM Showdowns, the qualification to the top 16 in December will not be passed down.
Every player receives at least a booster and part of the entry fee will also be given out as prize support for players making the top cut. There’s also additional sponsoring by Ultimate Guard for the top 8.
When is it?
You can find the next events on our home page.
Generally we will have an event on the end of each even month (February, April, June, etc.) with the finals being in December again. The dates will be announced approx. 4 – 6 weeks in advance to ensure that you have enough time to make room in your calendar, but we’re also not colliding with other events or prereleases.
How do I register?

December Finals FAQ
I do not have a lot of points, can I still play in the tournament?
