If a card is removed from play or removed from the game. can the triggered ability still work?

eg.

I play Briarknit Kami during my turn.
triggered ability(Whenever you play a Spirit or Arcane spell, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature)

My oppt. plays Oblivion Ring and removes Briarknit Kami from play.

I then play a Spirit card. Does this still activate the triggered abitity on Briarknit Kami ?????

Thanks

[noparse] Briarknit Kami [/noparse] -> Briarknit Kami
Oblivion Ring

No. Most abilities (including the one on briarknit kami) function only while in play. If an ability functions in a different zone, it will specifically say so or will only make sense in that zone .

Or it will be characteristic-defining .
