A lot of people have been expecting exactly this card for a while because its competitive and workable.
I don't think anyone was expecting it to be a rare in a relatively low print supplementary product that's legal in multiple formats, thereby artificially constraining a ton of decks that want it with a ridiculous price tag. I really hope this card is making it into standard, but I know that its definitely not, otherwise it wouldn't be printed as a rare in this set along the 'updated busted cards' theme.
