So, where do you position your deck?
I'm righthanded and play with the deck on my right, with the graveyard vertically below my deck and the exile zone horizontally under the graveyard.
what about you?
Deck on the left, and everything around it arranged depending on what Im running. No graveyard interaction? Then its on the outside to the left. Lots of graveyard stuff? Spread out under my library.
Usually on the left, and sideways. I don't know why, my left hand is just my card drawing hand. It has deemed itself worthy of such a task. good on it, I guess

There are few men in this Parliament for whom I have greater respect than the leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. I admire him in my heart, because time and again he has had the courage to say what lays on his conscience, regardless of what the world might think of him. A man of that calibre is an ornament to any Parliament.

Deck to the right of me, creatures to the left of the deck, lands behind the creatures, enchantments and artifacts above my deck, graveyard to the right of my deck, exile, well, it depends.
I use the Duels Of The Planeswalkers layout, though I'm right-handed and keep my deck and GY to the left. I dare you to ask me how tempting it is to hold flying creatures in a floating pattern over the table.
Sometimes I do it anyway.
Sometimes my friend and I "go badass" and turn our decks sideways. I don't know why we call it that.

The top left corner of my mat has my deck, on that corner I position my deck at a 45 degree angle. My graveyard is to the left of my deck, at the same angle, and anything exiled is positioned long-ways touching the top of my library and graveyard.
Deck goes near the top right corner of my mat, graveyard is directly underneath, exiled cards are either tapped underneath the graveyard or to the right of the graveyard, depending on table space.
Lands are always lined up at the bottom of the mat, creatures at the top, and enchantments and noncreature artifacts to the left of the creatures.
I'm a leftie. Deck's on the right, graveyard is to the right of that, and the exile zone is to the graveyard's right and sideways. That takes up a fair bit of room, but I like the visual clarity.

Right handed. Deck in the upper left corner of my mat, horizontal to my opponent, with a bit of space on the edge for the graveyard to run down in a vertical column.

I'm right handed. I play with the deck to my left, with the graveyard to the left of the deck, and usually the exile zone is on top of my deck box, which is also to my left, but further up the table.
For some reason I've always positioned my deck in the bottom center of my playmat, graveyard to the right, exiled cards to the left sideways. I'm not actually even very consistent with my own layout, sometimes I have the exile pile sideways to the right of the graveyard instead.
Play on the left.
I tend to put all of my lands on the far right of the playspace because I have a tendency to put my elbows on the table.
I tend to organize my lands in some way (WUBRG order, for instance) and often keep my non-land mana sources (mana rocks, dorks) near them, but clearly separate in case of board wipe.
I tend to have my creatures front and center with non-creatures to the right next to my lands.
I play with my graveyard above my deck (in case opponent needs to see) and the exile below it.
There are exceptions to this.
I'm currently playing Maze's End in standard, so my entire battlefield usually consists of me organizing all my gates into two rows of five with the colors of the gates leading into one another (azorius-dimir-rakdos, etc) and any other permanents (Perimeters, Maze's End) taking up the available slots.
I try to keep a ring or a dice or something on top of my library to remind me of unusual triggers.

I am so going to start doing this.
I play with my library to the left, turned sideways. My graveyard is on the left side of my library and my exiled cards go off my playmat.
