Variant Decks are handmade in Las Vegas, Nevada. Each veneer is stained by the man himself, Mike, which produces beautiful colors for the top ply. The colors of the top ply are chosen at random, though. Variant Decks are made with heat-transferred graphics, which will smear and uncover the bottom ply as you use the deck more. This specific graphic was done by Sammy Montano (@sammy_montano , @sonnysmountain).
