My Pathfinder character was recently granted a Wish spell. I really want a Deck of Many Things. Rules as written, can I use the Wish to get a Deck of Many things? Preferably, without invoking the "You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous" clause?

Since the Deck is a Minor Artefact without a listed price, the Wish spell cannot create one. The only reasonable way to resolve the spell is if it summons an existing Deck to you, which means that its old owner now is missing a Deck of Many Things.
Which probably puts you in "doing so is dangerous" territory, depending on who the old owner of the Deck was (which is up to your DM)
