So here's a weird one. Where do you guys play with your deck and yard, right side, left side, sideways? I'm curious to see what other players find comfortable (and if u play edh where do u put your general)

Juggernaut9060

Usually on the left, but it depends on how much room there is. We play on small coffee tables sometimes.

NyghtHawk

Deck on the left with the grave left of it.

I know there is no rule but people who play with the permanents behind their lands drive me crazy. It makes reading the board much harder. I dont see why wizards never laid that out as a rule. Creatures should be across from each other so that you can see the battlefield clearly and declare your attackers and blocker easily. When you play with your lands up front it makes the play area non symmetrical and hard to read IMO.

Charbelchers rage

Deck right immediately in front of deck graveyard field center hand left in a fan formation face down... Why do you ask?

Same, although I put a spin down in between my yard and deck. I also hate when people don't stack mana or tap things in different directions...

MarduArrow

Deck is usually on my right, yard is right beside on the right of my deck, lands to the left of my deck, creatures in front of lands, artifacts and enchantments in front of my deck, and commander sits to the right of my yard

izik99

I put the deck on the right, with the yard to the left of that. My spindown goes above my deck. I place my hand facedown in a neatly stacked pile.

LadyGrixis

Deck to my right, sideways. Graveyard to the right of my deck, straight up, with the cards fanned so I can see everything. Exiled cards go to the left :( sad exiled cards lonely.

Wackaman9001

Deck to my left, graveyard below it with all names visible. Exiled cards are sideways under the yard

Destore117

Deck set Vertical graveyard right above it (Yugioh style mainly.) exile to the right of graveyard creatures to the left of graveyard. Artifacts/global enchants to left of my creatures. lands in line with my deck on the left and I have a life counter between me and my opponent (using this app :) ) usually set above my creatures and next to their graveyard (we often play with decks on opposite sides of the table mine on my right their's on my left across)
Been trying to get into the habitat of showing my entire graveyard and having my deck sideways. but lunch tables and desks have only so much space.

Vampyvyrus

Library on left top corner. Gy under library. Land on bottom of playmat seperated by color(I hate when people mix their land together). Creatures at top of mat for easy recognition. Life counter differs, I base it on where my opponents is so its easy to see both totals.

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

My deck is on the top right corner of my playmat, perpendicular to the edge of the mat and my 'yard in usually below it.

Spikepit

Coincidently, exactly how DotP have theirs set out, but my GY is tapped. Command Zone above deck, exile to the right of deck (also tapped). My hand stays in my left hand.

Yes, I am right handed. 😊

FlickerYourOwnIdentity

I play with it on the right, sideways.  My graveyard is usually to the right of it, and exiling is even farther right.  Commander is usually placed to right of my library :)

I love DotP setup! I'm probably going to start doing it.
