It's no more confirmed now than it was a week ago.
This is true, I just didn't know if I should add it to the spoiler or not.
The price is not going to explode. It is already 12ish dollars. Once tons more are in circulation the price will stabilize.

With the orb results it's always seemed likely, that said I still wouldn't put it past wizards to trick us by using the wording spread over several cards. If it is true i'm pretty happy, it gives "The Solution" style decks another nice tool against 5 colors and faeries will probably splash into white more often in order to name Volcanic Fallout.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
What we're doing here is akin to taking the text of Moby Dick, locating specific words therein, rearranging them to create a passage from Fight Club, and concluding from this evidence that Tyler Durden is based on Ahab.
Does anyone get the feeling that we won't get a reprint of Pithing Needle in M10, because it seems like a lot of specific card targeting if we had both. I'm very pleased that this is getting reprinted.

seems kinda weird to have a reprint in the rare slot, that isn't something obviously nostalgic/classic like sengir or ernham. I think I might have preferred a Pithing Mage, that would have been neat (albeit still not particularly original).
My question is... why reprint it here, and NOT in the pseudo-core. Sure we still have our share of common and uncommon reprints in expansions... but a rare reprint is kind of... I don't know... bold?
I guess I'm still doubtful. Just seems too good to be true. No reason this cannot be a happy accident.

Well we still don't know if they are even having multicolor in M10. Also, this is an iconic card with a very unique effect, and can easily fit into the flavor of the shards. My bet is someone on the team designed something similar, until someone said "why don't we just reprint Meddling Mage?"
Sure, stuff like Snapping Drake and Goblin Piker are for limited. But Null isn't even playable against a 5 year old whose hand consists of a 6 of Clubs, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Chimney Imp, and a very large cumquat.

Well, let us hope so but I think it would explode. Anyway, I would like to correct your flavor text. They are only 2 instances of the word meddling in the set so I doubt meddling would appear in the flavor text. FYI for others the word "can't" appears 11 times in the set.

The orb never tracks flavor text.

I'd bet on it being in the set though I personally wouldn't have added it to the spoiler yet. I guess you guys have got to stretch a little bit to keep ahead the official spoiler now that the major leaks have been plugged. If there is a "Meddling of the Mage" enchantment though, I'm going to be pretty amused.

As Meddling Mage comes into play, name a nonland card.
The named card can't be played.

After creating this thread, CaptainBlack confirmed that MM is in the set, with new art (of course)

iRebel is probably happy as hell as well
It's no more confirmed now than it was a week ago. Although I guess some people do just look at the spoiler here and nothing else.

It's over 70% confirmed, which exceeds betting odds. That's good enough IMO.

Nah, we can just throw this in any deck running white or blue because of all the fixing.
I guess Spellbreaker Behemoth and Terminate can't be in either if that was true
Some people...
