\nIn this edition\u00a0of the Manaverse Podcast and over the next few weeks, I am excited feature one of the most well known names in Canadian Magic.
\nThis particular episode our guest has competed on the Pro Tour twice, created and built the online home of Canadian Magic, hosts one of the best MTG podcasts on the internet The Eh Team, and recently became the media coordinator for Face To\u00a0Face Games in Montreal. That\u2019s right, today we\u2019re talking to Kar Yung Tom, better known in the Magic community as KYT. KYT comes onto the podcast today to talk about how he built Manadeprived.com from scratch as well as his experience on the Pro Tour and his new role at Face To\u00a0Face Games.
\nKYT takes us behind the scenes to show us how he created the online home for Canadian Magic and how that experience led him to working with the largest online Magic retailer in Canada. We explore the history of Manadeprived, the Mana Deprived Super Series, and how Face To\u00a0Face ended up sponsoring the site. We also talk about what it\u2019s like being the everyman pro Magic player and how it feels having players all over Canada root for KYT during events.\u00a0
