There's a (very minor) mistake in the answer to the sixth question (about the Commandeered Delay):
Quote from Binary »
So regardless of who controls the Delay, it's the spell's owner (the player who started the spell with that game in his/her deck) that will play the spell when the last time counter is removed.

Apart from that, great article as always. I especially liked the narrative style for the first question about the animated land. (Who says rules questions have to be boring?)

In the first example, wouldn't it have been easier for the opponent to just play Animate Land on the Island, without playing Naturalize? As I understand it, the 3/3 p/t setting ability would override the 5/6 p/t setting ability with its later timestamp, the Island would be 3/3 until end of turn instead of 5/6, and it would die.
and let us know what you think of the new front page and article system too
New article system: no views as yet.
New front page: Nice fonts, nice colour scheme but the graphic design could do with a little tweaking. On my setup (Firefox, WinXP, 1280x960) the main image only reaches as far right as the 't' of "Apply to write". This leaves whitespace above the remaining two inches of the menu bar, which looks bad.
New (?) Logo on Forum pages: I admire the minimalism, but it doesn't look right at all. To start with it's too black for a predominantly blue colour scheme. Second, the font used doesn't feel right (and has really odd inter-character spacing). And the whole has that distinctive "ten minutes in MS Paint" look. Just
MTG Salvation
would look way better.
