Is that a dogslicer I see on the cover?
It sure looks that way!
I bought the one magic item pack in the store today after getting some in the mail as a freebie with something else I ordered from Paizo. Great illustrations and I suspect these will go along nicely.

And the store blog confirms it. There are five other items in the set from Pathfinder, including an "ogre hook".

So this is a non-random deck? It doesn't say one way or the other in the description, but the list of cards looks non-random (unless there are more than 1 version of each).
I originally decided not to use item cards because I didn't want to buy any random crap. I hate the marketing method and refuse to be a part of it. But, since it appears that item card approach has changed, how can I be sure which decks are non-random?

The Decks are non random. I have several of them.

Only Hero's Hoard and Relics of War are random (note that these are the only products available as boosters or in display form). All other sets are fixed decks.
I think Paizo is getting away from random card sets and more into fixed decks. Which I think is a better idea really.

I generally agree about not liking randomness, but I remember a statement from Erik (I think) that the random packs would include a lot of normally re-occuring treasure type cards, like potions, longswords, or whatnot.
I've been using item cards for my own PC, equipping cards as the DM gives out treasure or as I purchase them, and I really love using the cards.
I bought a few booster packs to see how well they fit in with the non-random decks, and I thought they worked great. I got more of what I expected to get.
I showed off my cards to the other players and my DM, and they were kinda "hmmm" about it, until I showed them the five pages of cards I have in my character folio. I keep the cards in some 3-ring baseball card sheets. When they say everything from my character sheet on one card or another, they really liked the cards.

Though we're not producing new packs, the two sets we did as packs are still available that way, and are as useful as they've always been!
