Not until at least after gameday. Even then we're not looking at a huge dip since he's the centerpiece of both midrange and aggressive strategies

it's not dropping any time soon, especially by game day. It probably won't stay $20 forever, but it could remain a big player in a lot of decks considering it's playable in any deck with red, so with that being said, even if it drops it could just be a couple of dollars and still remain pretty high. There isn't a clear cut best deck yet like when Mono-black first showed up. So nothing's going to drop in price until the meta gets figured out some more. Until then people and shops will be picking up anything with potential to save money/make money when the price of staples in the top decks rise.

It's a card that will make a splash in modern, so there will be a dip, not any time soon, but you can expect it to drop 5 to 10 dollars when it rotates out of standard, until then, expect to pay 15 to 20 dollars for it.

My son just started playing with these and they are doing well for him. It is a versatile creature that fits into a lot of decks and a lot of strategies, so the price is pretty justified right now. I guess if you plan on using them any time soon you will have to bite the bullet and accept the fact that you got in on these little beauties a little late.

Right now it has a big price tag, but the meta hasn't been figured out yet, if he sticks with the meta, he most likely will retain that value, but if the meta shifts away from him he'll drop. There's really no way to tell

If you want to play safe until the meta is figured out, RDW is a safe, and very aggressive option. It will also remain playable after the meta is established.

They are going to hold for the time being. As many have mentioned they are center pieces in many Standard decks, both Aggro and Mid-Range making it hard to go with out.
I would say buying now would result in an overall net loss. Your best bet would be try to get the playset in a trade with people that are looking to move him while he is high trade bait, or people dumping because they just cannot get the playset together.
Mine are being utilized in my Mardu build and they are most certainly a staple in that deck.
