Yes, I know why it's at that price, it can only be obtained from the Chandra Planeswalker deck. Still, I think it's pretty interesting as I can't remember this happening before in Standard. Is the card expected to see serious play in Standard? Why else would it be sought after like this?

Because no one has them yet. If it can maintain that price for a week after the decks are available, I'll be impressed. I'll be impressed if they stay above $1. It's a 4-of in an MSRP $15 deck that has two packs in addition to the other cards and will be sold at big box stores. There's no way it can maintain any kind of real price without some serious, serious demand to back it up and it's not a very good card. Some people are afraid of missing out because it's new and only available in one place and other people are trying to capitalize on that.
I'd also point out that the TCG market price is $1.27 as I type this. It may be listed at $4, but almost no one is buying at that price.

It was at $4 a copy before they released the fact that there's a full playset of these things in the deck, too.
Before that, I'd imagine there was some impression of scarcity that was driving the price. Once people figure out you can get four of these things for $15, it's not exactly going to stay at $4 a copy.
