It'll probably go for about $10. They don't have the burn support that Ball Lightning has, so it won't be as hot... but being in Standard, it'll up the price a bit.
Yeah Id say with its somewhat higher rare class that it might be higher then 8-10. Especially since ball lightning was always playable and this one is the same thing.
It's gonna be hyped, but this card will settle along.. $3-5. Triple green is hard to do and because of that it won't have a stable home in dual color aggro. Players will all run 4 as the hype sets on, and then will drop to 3 and probably 2 when they realize how hard it is to play, and then it will drop out of most lists most likely, particularly due to things like Paladin En-Vec which uses first strike to null the threat entirely.

Getting the last word does not mean that you win the argument.
Well condemn is also its biggest foe. I realize they have stonewood invocation but that requires waiting until VERY late game. But again some decks can't deal with it. Triple green while tough with this much freaking mana fixing is easy especially with birdie helping out.
1st turn bird/elf 2nd turn 6 damage. is pretty damn good. This card will end up at the 8-10 mark on cool value alone and will head up to 12 if it ends up seeing major play.
I expect this card to be HUGE in price, at least early on. When Ball Lightning was in Standard, it was up with Wrath as the top card in the Core Set, and I see no reason this card will not start huge. My vote is $15+ early, too hard to say longer term.
i'm going with machius here, but it won't go higher than 8. It's a solid kick to the face on turn 2-3, or a gamefinisher late game. But of course, like most creatures, it's easy to kill with all this removal floating around in every format. It'll be good to play if you go first, because besides vintage/legacy you'll probably be able to smack your opponent one.
Its not very good aside from mono-green, yet its a very good card. I would imagine it would hover around 8-10 at the prerelease and drop down below that to 4-6 after that, and probably even 3-4 sometime later when people realise it can only go in a limited ammount of decks.

Do threads in this forum ever not get hijacked by the magical invisible hand of the market guys?
I think this card will see similar pricing to Giant Solifuge.
It will start out relatively hyped (probably much more hyped than Solifuge after the final spoiler was released): $10-15.
It will drop down to around $4-5 once people realize it can only be run in mono-green aggro, and we are not sure if that deck is a viable alternative right now to the other Standard aggro decks. (think of the number of outs it currently has against Dragonstorm, and answer whether or not mono-green can win in this environment.
I will jump back up to its final price of $7-9 when people start to build good quality decks around it in multiple formats (Legacy and Extended come calling), and it picks up steam in Standard.
It will be a great fit in monogreen decks, they need a direct damage finisher and can be used with Might of Old Krosa to hit for a whopping 10 damage.
The question is if monogreen decks will have a place in standard. Green has many good cards, so it's not a farfetched idea but sometimes these things just don't work out.
If mono green decks can be made to work, then this guy has a home, but they have an uphill battle against fast combo and life gain. Maybe after the Tron rotates out, Martyr of Sands won't be as much of a problem.
A mono green deck has no real answers for decks like dragon storm or other control other than win before the other person can get set up. This bunch of green rares we are getting seem to help with that, but I am not sure it is enough. Only time will tell.
As for the price, 10+ at the prerelease, and then it will drop fast unless a mono green deck can be built to support it.

It depends on the viability of a monogreen or mostly-green aggro deck. Monored could use Ball Lightning and variants (firecats, etc) because it had massive burns to go with it. Green is getting nice creatures too, but it lacks lasting one-mana 2/1 and 3/3 for two mana that the normal aggro+burn decks like Zoo or Sligh have. Green also doesn't have burn, and that GGG is a big commitment to green.
GGG is alot, but I'm sure it's not hard to pull off. and green has the pumpage that can make those early drops 3/3s and what not. I'm fairly sure it won't be mono, but it's still viable. my bet is on 9+ at prere (not to those sneaky venders. that'll be more like 4-5) and then it'll drop to about 5-7 after release.
Green mana pumpage = board commitment of small mana creatures = die more and lose more to Pyroclasm Wrath of Damnation. It's not like we have Bonesplitter to play around with on BoPs and such.

Well... green have the best answer to Snow-White Martyr : Biorhythm.
They wrath, you cast Scryb at the end of turn, biorhythm on your turn and they're dead... all dead.
Not really sure, this is a harder one. It depends more on what else is in the set. Damnation is a sureshot $20+. Green Balls will start off moderate and then drift up or down depending on if it finds a solid Standard deck or not. I think around $10 for now.
I say 10$, maybe even 12-13$ at the prerelease. Probably setling around 8-10$ a month or so later. I might be wrong, though, since I believed Magus of the scroll would remain in the 8-10 category too.

mtgo prices are more the actual worth of playability. In paper magic, there's something called flavor that makes these cards much more expensive.
furthermore, MTGO prices just flat out suck. it's all electronic. the only reason any of the cards actually HAVE a tix price is because of the redemtion. otherwise it's just play and play with things you don't have. you can pick up full sets for waaay under their paper counterparts and that's what many people do. so MTGO prices are not any sort of viable basis.
