I only have one deck, really, and then the RWS that I printed off for free from an online site, so maybe I haven't really connected yet and don't even know it! :)
I did find a spread for interviewing your deck. That was a new concept to me, and I do feel it helped me to connect to my decks to the degree I'm able as a novice.

The deck interview tarot spread:
1. Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic?
2. What are your strengths as a deck?
3. What are your limits as a deck?
4. What are you here to teach me?
5. How can I best learn and collaborate with you?
6. What is the potential outcome of our working relationship?
