Since it is Meddling Mage for big spells in standard and outside it, I think it will go up to 17 dollar.
Sure it gets destroyed, but so does MM, and players even attack with him.
U/W fish really needs to splash green with this and Tarmo
It is way too overhyped, i'm thinking of it as the new Extirpate but worse since this forces you into a specific color combination, it's very vulnerable to removal, can be countered(unlike Extirpate) and it's legendary(unlike Meddling Mage).
Basically it's a good playable card, but not nearly as format shaping or powerful as people seem to think. It will go for insane prices 15-20 or so at the start and then will fall back to around the $8 level.
The problem is that against some deck you could play MM and name their only removal spell and then disable something relevant permenantly with a second one. This dude can't do that.
But that is the problem, decks don't run 1 removal spell.
This card blocks many big spells. It can never replace MM, it can however assist Meddling Mage.
You can play Gaddock to block their big removal and use MM to stop their small removal.
Will definitely be overpriced in the beginning, but will stabilize at a not-so-low price (talking about 10 up) since it IS a REALLY solid card every G/W-Aggro-Deck will run 3 to 4 times.
6-10 USD, easy. I hesitate to put it higher, because Teferi hasn't ever gotten over 10, and this is at least on par with Teferi's game-warping powers. Definitely best card spoiled so far, IMHO.
Maybe around Teferi's price, since this guy seems pretty useless against aggro. Most aggro decks curve around 1-3 cc, with only Solifuge and Demonfire being above 3cc at the moment, and both of those are cycling.
However, against control he's wicked :D. Sideboard material at best I'd say.
He has a lot of limitations: color wise, legendary wise (bad in the miror), hes a cret. He'll see play in maybe one tier 1 dec at best. Extripate is sooo much better, MM is ridiculous in comparison and still only sees play in a couple of decs (most of which are not tier 1). The block is creature based and so he does little ther. Descent pace decs will maul this guy b/c everything is under 4cc anyway...
The fact that he has x2 static abilities at 2cc is very good and his synergy with stroy teller is awesome... I'm thinking $2-3, and he'll spend most of his time in the " from outside the game" zone, that is of course after all the intial hype has died down.

you have to price a broken card with a broken price.

mostly he'll be sb, a target for glittering wish. in an appropriate aggro/weenie type deck.
Thats good enough for the vendors to charge you an arm and a leg for it. Where are thrulls when you need them?

I don't know. I see him as a staple 3-of 2cc creature in GW, next to Saffi.

Great art though!
