So where can we go exactly to view the article when it's posted? I would rather read the article before going to MTG Salvation and just getting the headlines.

I'm pretty sure it would just be here: magic.wizards.com/en/articles (can't post links yet). Also, MaRo said he would post a link on Blogatog.
I'm sorry if this is obvious, but shouldn't the article be up by now? It's Mondays article so it should be up by 9:00 PST Sunday, right? Is wizards just being slow at updating dailymtg?
Articles used to be up by 9PM EST. Now they are up by 11AM EST (the following day). Therefore we will see the article at 11AM EST tomorrow. Currently we have 10 more hours to go.

They changed the update time to 11 EST about two weeks after the site change in an effort to make it more friendly to international visitors.
If that is the reason why, I feel like there has to be something I'm not getting about people who live closer to GMT. I don't understand why pushing your times back 11 hours is a convenience to anyone, and I'm less than thrilled since I've been hearing all of this hype about some big news coming on Monday only to have to wait until literally Tuesday to hear it. I suppose this goes to show how often I actually look at the website, though.
Can I just take this time to reiterate the popular sentiment that I HATE the new website. the layout makes no sense, the timing of spoilers is super lame now. waiting at night with people for spoilers as a past time is just gone. used to be a blast
and the ******* thing works awful on mobile. WTF wtf wtf
Amen to this, I've simply given up on checking the articles now that I have to jump through flaming hoops to view them on my phone

Of course, delaying the article can do nothing positive for the people who waited that long with reading it anyway (as it makes no difference to them) while everyone who read it anytime between 8 CET and 17 CET will have to wait.
Also, if anyone else besides me is confused, and to save you a google: EST is an abbreviation for both European Summer Time and Eastern Standard Time. How convenient.
It really could be a new card type. Maro was recently talking about how he forsees new card types in the future, but only something they do very rarely. Maybe it was him hinting at it.
New card type or new color are the two things that would literally get the entire magic the gathering community talking. Maybe You Make The Set. There are very few things that the entire community would be talking about.

For me, it used to be 7 AM, which is great, as I would wake up with a spoiler every day. Now it's kind of annoying. Thanks from an international visitor.
Yeah, this sucks for HST (Hawai'i). I used to get the spoilers ~ 8PM or so, now I have to wait until like 5 AM which is definitely a lot more annoying. Ah well.
Can't help but chime in on the two big off-topic topics here:
New article timing: Yep, I totally hate it too. In China and Australia I used to get to read the articles at midday (or 1pm during US daylight savings) on the 'day'. Now I don't get to read them till 'tomorrow'. Monday's articles now don't come out till Tuesday for me, and it drives me crazy!
New website design: Yep, it's a total disaster. Awful to look at AND awful to navigate. I'm guessing it was 'jump on the bandwagon' stuff after seeing the whole iOS and Windows 8 shift to tablet-style layouts, before realising that some who jumped on the bandwagon earlier have started jumping back off. (Cambridge ELA have just completely redesigned their site after 2 years of this horrible tablet-style stuff continually received bad feedback).
Next time I post, it'll be about "Tuesday's" announcement. Promise.

Apparently we have to wait till 11am EST. Sux.

I'm really hoping it has something to do with YMTC on a much larger level (You Make The Set?) or something fundamental about reprints.

I'm pretty sure there is a "reason" why they moved the update-times, and then they tried to make it sound as if they had the reader's best interest at heart by claiming that the change "will give more readers a better opportunity to read our content when it suits them best"
