I don't think so. With the new eldrazi coming out in Oath, I expect it's usefulness and popularity to go up even more. The price jump was defintely a high one and noteworthy; and some may argue that this kind of jump will lead to it stabilizing at a lower price. But, with a plethora of copies still online, the asking price is pretty set considering that there is no buyout or shortage- it's worth what people will pay for it. The deck seems to be doing very well and it's definitely a new archetype to work with in Modern.
Also, I presume the Worldwake Mythic Rare version is rarer than the Modern Masters 2015 version. I'm not sure how much of each version are printed. I could be wrong though, but does anyone have any idea?
Looks like the card is still on the rise, so it might be best simply to hold out a little longer to see if it goes up any further (up to at least $20 now from the looks of it).
I saw it peak at 25 and lower a bit. Intend to stick to modern banlist speculation for investments. I bought 4 stoneforge mystic near mint dec 18th for 25 each and now they're already at 45 each. People seem to think it has a strong possibility of being unbanned because of answers for it in modern
but why is eye so high?
i cant see it being that good in modern
There's a nascent BGx Eldrazi deck that's being pushed/hyped.
"Nascent" is a word that doesn't get used enough. That made me happy.
On topic, CBx Eldrazi is the same reason why Relic of Progenitus is spiking right now too. I'm sitting on my Eye for a few more days, mostly since my local stores aren't interested in trading for it right now, and I think it's going to go up.
The B/x eldrazi deck is still in development stage but it's looking very much like tron but has good metagame potential in playing mainboard relics and discard whereas Tron disregards the field and plays its own game. Personally I believe the eldrazi deck is a solid tier 2 which would not justify the price tag on some of these cards. Hype window has passed, market correction will set in and prices will fall back down but not as low as they were. People are picking up and playing the deck after all
The B/x Eldrazi list is the real deal. I sleeved it up and top4'd a 52-man IQ with zero prior testing. It has good matchups against much of the field including landslide matchups against perennial format boogeymen Grixis and Jund.
It plays kind of like Tron, only their lands produce multiple mana without needing to hit all of the other lands, meaning it's also less vulnerable to single-target LD like Ghost Quarter, Tectonic Edge, Fulminator Mage, Crumble to Dust, and Spreading Seas. And the major threats like Blight Herder and Oblivion Sower can ramp significantly by themselves and don't cost as much as Tron's big threats, meaning it's stronger against Blood Moon as well. And it runs more in the way of interaction with lots of maindeck Discard, Graveyard Hate, and instant spot removal, plus its own Ghost Quarters and Cavern of Souls.
Oath's Spoilers haven't revealed anything backbreaking for the deck, but there's still 2/3rds of the set missing, so it's very possible that something will hit that will shake things up further. I don't think Eye's price is going to drop any time soon - this is not a buyout so much as it is people buying the actual card to play with.

I've tested the deck out myself right after GP Pittsburgh when there were rumors of this deck floating around. It seemed more like a deck that was good against a certain meta as oppose to a deck that is just flat out good. It certainly was weak to fast combo-y decks and not consistent enough to deal with burn decks. I see the one major difference since i've tested the deck is the consistent inclusion of lingering souls, probably good to shore up the matchup against fast creature decks. Unless they print another wasteland strangler-esque card, I think the meta will shift slightly to accommodate for eldrazi decks and will permanently relegate the deck to tier 2 maybe 1.5.
edit: we should find out really soon because SCG open Charlotte is right around the corner and this deck is as hyped as it will ever be barring some insane spoiler in Oath.

Great post. I am seeing the same thing, as I am running the deck myself I am 8-2 so far, losing to Bogles and BW Tokens.
Like others have said, the deck is in its development stages and there is no consensus on an optimal list yet. I have personally found tough matchups in Affinity and Burn, although surprisingly Infect and GR Aggro were a positive matchup. The combo matchup can be tough, but we just need to draw our SB answers.
Eye of Ugin won't go down any time soon.

The only match that felt completely unwinnable out of the ones I played was Ad Nauseam. I won game one pretty much solely because he never found an Ad Naus, despite having ample time, and then games two and three, Leyline of Sanctity turned off my primary weapon against him (targeted discard), which gave him all the time in the world to go off, which he did.
But I was running the mono-B list, and the W/B list has a lot more options for fighting decks like this, like Disenchant and Stony Silence. It's a tradeoff though - W/B gets Lingering Souls, which makes the Affinity and Infect matchups easier, but it runs less discard, which makes Burn a little harder, and it has to sacrifice some of its lands, which makes either Tron (Ghost Quarter) or Grixis (Cavern of Souls) slightly harder.
Either way, the spikes on Eye and Temple are unlikely to reverse themselves any time soon. If there isn't one of the versions of this deck in the next major t8, I'll be very surprised.

There is a BR version, a Mono Black version, the BW version. From what I've heard, there's BG and UB (Caleb Durward's video on cfb) as well.

BW Eldrazi even got 10th place at SCG Cincinatti this weekend... not bad for it's first outing: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=97028
Feel free to jump on the hype train and speculate on any of the cheap cards in the deck

Well, last week I got 4 RoE ones for $2.5 each and last time I checked they were $7-8, so I'd say they already have.
