At worst it's trade bait. The card might do better post-rotation when all the token absurdity is behind us.Jenara just takes too much effort to get going. It's a good topdeck late in the game, but the thing about the Bant decks right now is that they are full of 4-ofs because that deck has a god draw that makes Faeries blush. There's just no room for her, and I can't imagine that they wouldn't get better options in M10 and Zendikar to replace the one key card that deck is losing in rotation , Shorecrasher Mimic . Speaking of which, I actually expect to see Rafiq of the Many starting to flirt with Elspeth-level prices as the Bant aggro deck continues to do well. He's already at a solid $15 and I can see that pushing up near $20 if it shakes out that Bant Aggro is a competitive T2 alternative to G/W or B/W tokens, especially given that the deck should remain competitive post-rotation. On the same note, Noble Hierarch might get to a solid $15/each (or more, geez that's pricey for a mana dork) here pretty soon.
