Wrenn and Six

Alright, quick question. Another topic I wanted to talk about is my inactivity, after recently moving away, I have had trouble finding a playgroup. My MTG career may be at end, or stalled for a bit. Alright to the question. Should I sell Wrenn and Six. According to Mtg Goldfish, Wrenn and Six has been slowly drifting down. Will it spike in the future? Is it worth holding on for a bit? Do you guys see the card keeping its price. Lots of people say I should hold on, this is my dilemma.
If you're really not going to see mtg reliably for awhile and you were not building a jund deck for modern/legacy anyway sell it. Even if it's 120 when you get back into the game you likely would have been better off with the money now anyway. mtg outside of the reserve list is very volatile, it is far more likely wotc does something that will lower the card's price with a ban or reprint than the card become so dominate it jumps past modern's $100 laughter curve on card price (for very long at least).

Do you need the money to pay off any debts or make any required purchases? If yes, then sell. Do you currently play them in any decks? If no, then sell. If you currently enjoy playing them in a deck, and don't need the money, I'd keep them since karma would make it so that as soon as you sell them you'll find a playgroup to play with and wish you had them back lol.
On a related note, I'm looking to pick up a set if you do decide to sell :)

I'd personally hold unless you need the money.
People are continuing to open boxes so the supply is going to keep going up (a little bit) and the price going down (a little bit) for a while. But W6 is not going to be reprinted for a looooooong time (maybe never), so the supply will eventually stabilize.
Then either of two things happen: (1) It continues to only sees serious play in Jund, so the demand goes up a little as new players come into the format and prices go back up a little or (2) Some new cards are printed enabling W6 to see serious play in a new deck too, so demand goes up a bunch and so does the price.
Disclaimer: Not a MTG financier; just a scrub :-D
P.S. You might look into MTGO. It's a great way to play serious magic, when life doesn't allow paper play for whatever reason.
