So Exquisite Blood just jumped to 4 bucks a pop on SCG. Apparently there is a combo or something? And maybe with Blind Obedience from what Ive heard? I really have no clue whats going on with this
Exquisite Blood & Vizkopa Guildmage is the reason. If there are any other direct reasons for the price increase then I am unaware of it.

Probably some hype about the infinite combo that comes along with the new Vizkopa Guildmage and his first ability.

It will go the same way as the Bantchantment decks. First, people will be excited and play it, then it will be outplayed by other decks in the format, then will come back when nobody expects it, then leave just as quickly as it came

It's jumping because SCG is a good business, and it knows that a certain demographic of players will be all over this combo in the first few weeks after GTC is released.
The combo is not viable in constructed, so we're looking at inflation due to novelty (the same reason cards like Primalcrux and Glimpse the Unthinkable are worth anything).

wait wasn't Exquisite Blood a $4 card anyway due to the Sanguine Bond combo for casual/edh anyway?

Yeah, I tried that combo out before, it was far too slow, and a huge pain in the ass to set up. Every turn in EDH is too valuable to waste trying to set up an overkill combo like that anyway.
But I'd imagine Exquisite Blood Bumped because of the Orzhov Legendary.

It combos with the new Vizkopa Guildmage , whose 2nd ability forms the same combo Exquisite Blood does with Sanguine Bond
