I have been holding onto a Hangarback Walker
for quite some time now. Would you guys trade it before the next rotation, or hold it until it rotates?

Legacy MUD plays with the card, as do some builds of Modern Affinity, though I wouldn't count on those to keep the card price high.

Expect the price to drop for a while, but I think it has a long-term value of about $10, though it prices for Modern and Legacy continue to remain absurd, it could eventually go back to the price it was shortly after it came out.
The card is good for both Legacy and Modern. However, it does not necessarily fill any critical slot. My Modern and Legacy Robots decks are both good with it. They would also be good without it, but I like it. Unlike other cards that are good for Robots, this one can eventually become a single-card winner, though neither format generally supports the long game for that archetype. However, it is also a good control card and anti-control card. Control can sweep and still wind up with a force for the beatdown.
I expect the card to retain some reasonable value for the long run. It is unlikely to tank permanently, though it is also unlikely to go much higher than its high point in standard, even over the long run.

I don't believe there are any mainstream decks outside standard that run Hangarback Walker, but i could be wrong. If i am right, then i would dump it before it rotates.
