Card effect
Okay so I was playing meddling mage and when you read the cards effect it says you choose a card name when it enters the battlefield opponent can't cast that spell it says nothing about that ability being tangent on meddling mage being alive or in the field but opponent removed meddling mage and the effect on the aforementioned named spell was also removed seeing as how this is a historic card I figured it would apply to the hot fixes that you guys were talking about doing since the wording definitely makes it seem like it banishes the card from being able to be played for the rest of the game instead of for as long as meddling mage is in play

Meddling Mage’s second ability prevents casting the named card. If Mage is not on the battlefield it’s second ability is no longer providing its effect
