Ertai's Meddling, Instant, designed by Steve Luke first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
Ertai's Meddling could be beneficial in a control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's strategy by temporarily removing key spells from the game. While it offers a unique way to delay and potentially counter spells, it may not be as efficient as other control cards like Counterspell or Force of Will, which provide more immediate and versatile answers. Its utility would depend on the specific meta and playstyle of the deck, so it may not see widespread play in competitive settings.

If Ertai’s Meddling is used to copy an arcane spell that had effects spliced onto it, it will create a spell with all of those effects. That spell’s controller will not be able to splice additional effects onto the spell, since they did not re-cast the spell and instead simply put it back onto the stack.

This now exiles the spell as part of Ertai’s Meddling’s resolution, instead of waiting for the targeted spell to start resolving.

Ertai’s Meddling can’t be cast through any way that doesn’t pay its mana cost. This is because the X in the Meddling’s mana cost can’t be 0, but effects that allow spells to be cast without paying their mana costs set X to 0.

Note that a delayed spell that targets another spell won’t resolve when it resolves since it will find that its target is no longer on the stack.

Once it is put back on the stack, it is a “new” spell again and can be countered or even targeted by another Ertai’s Meddling.
