Where do we see Resplendent Angel going in terms of price and will it see play outside of standard?

Well, it doesn't have lifelink until turn 6 at the earliest. Before then, there are just better cards. And once you do hit 6, I would still probably prefer Archangel of Thune.

Before 6 mana, I would probably prefer Brimaz. To gain 5+ life in a turn in the early/mid game, you likely need either martyr, or genesis chamber, or forbidden orchard. Brimaz gives you a token almost all the time and survives more removal.

Apart from Standard and a little EDH, I think Resplendent Angel will see no play whatsoever in competitive. However, like what Lyra Dawnbringer is after the Pro Tour and Chainwhirler, I think it'll stay around $15-$20 as it is a very good card for casual players.
Which is good for me, as I can buy it.

I can't see it getting any real modern play. And if it's not strong enough for modern, I have a hard time imagining it getting any vintage or legacy play. Maybe some EDH, but that would be it outside of standard.
