What do people think will happen with this card? I don't keep up with tournaments so not sure how it's doing.
I'm thinking about building a bant edh and I have the playset of nobles and not sure what to do with the other 3.

It is still a staple in a few formats, notably in some legacy decks and modern G/W Hatebears and Infect. They are always going to be valuable and its price seems to fluctuate $3 or $4 each week up or down.

Price Trends for NH (<== link)
According to MTGTOP8, in live tournaments (not MTGO) in the last two months for Modern, Noble Hierarch was used in 16% of ALL Top 8 decks, with an average of 3.1 copies in those decks.
Under the same parameters, for Legacy, NH was in 6.8% of Top 8 decks with an average of 3.8 copies per deck.
In Vintage, for the last six months of Live Tournaments, NH was in 0.9% of Top 8 decks with a complete average of 4 copies per deck. (Unreliable data - Vintage is a relatively dead format on the IRL scene)
Use all this for what you will.

So this won't be going down in price, so if I get rid of them I'll have to get them back at the same price?
Awesome thanks for the input everyone, really helped.

Only will go down if reprinted. Which the best bet would be in a masters set (which there are 2-3 upcoming sets I believe - iconic, 25th masters, and maybe eternal masters 2).

She is the best mana dork, and WotC has stated that mana dorks at CMC1 is too powerful for magic so i guess nothing is gonna replace her in a while. When it comes to selling or not, do it if you want the money.. sitting on them for a year in hope for a higher price is just not worth it. We are not talking massive gain here..
