My Magic Madness
What is it?
The MMM Series is a regular tournament series in Berlin, organized by SpielFilmMusik. The format is Modern.
The tournament is held every two month and is expected to be 6 rounds of swiss and 3 single elimination rounds for top 8. Every tournament results in points that are tracked for the entire season (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw).
The finals in December will have a regular Swiss potion that is open for everyone, but will after the Swiss rounds play the season finale as a single elimination top 16 instead of an event-specific top 8.
The overall top 16 will be:
- The winners of each MMM. This includes the winner of the Swiss potion of the MMM finals.
- The players with the highest points throughout the season, until we have 16 players.
If a player is already qualified for the finals and wins another MMM, the finals invite 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?
The day starts off with a tournament open to everyone, Swiss rounds without a top 8 cut. Afterwards we cut to the end of year top 16. So if you just want to show up and play some Modern, you are welcome to do so!
I am qualified for the top 16, do I have to play the Swiss event in December?
You do not have to play the Swiss event, you can show up later for the top 16. However, the decklist submission deadline is at the beginning of the Swiss event.
Do I have to play the same deck in the Swiss event and the top 16?
You can submit different decks for the Swiss event and the top 16. The decklist submission deadline for both is the beginning of the Swiss event.
Will the top 16 be Open Decklist?
Yes.
In the top 16, how will play/draw be decided?
Play/Draw in the top 16 will be random.
