How high can Force go?

Force of Will has gone up by $5 so far over the past week or two; they currently are sitting at $95.
This makes me wonder... How high could it go? Perhaps maybe as high as Wasteland did last March? Perhaps not? ...Thoughts?

Because Strip Mine is banned in legacy, restricted in Vintage, and has many printings. While Wasteland is legal and has only been printed in one set before. :3

I didn't know that. Why is the mine banned but wasteland isn't? Just that they didn't want 8 copies of it and chose one over the other to ban?

Strip Mine can destroy basic lands but Wasteland cannot. :3

FoW will most likely not rise much more, yes it's a legacy staple but there is a limit of how much the players are willing to pay. For example look at the ABUR duals. Some months ago they reached their peak and then slowly started to fall back since noone was willing to spend that much. And since legacy is condemned a bitter end just like vintage because of the reserved list people moves away to formats with a brighter future like modern. Also modern will be displayed much more on scg next year with lesser legacy if I remember correctly. Therewith less promotion means less play⇒lower prices. Anyway anyone paying more than $70 for FoW is nuts. (at least where I live)

@fluffybunnypants that price tag isn't even fair

Starcity had them at $120 earlier this year but failed to stick

Honestly if they were to get too high to the point wizards saw it as poor for the format they could reprint it... I mean for it to appear in a small print special set in the coming 2-5 years would not surprise me too much.
And to be clear I mean more than 1 or 2 thousand total would be printed. (So it would actually have an impact unlike the judge foils)

Why is Wasteland more expensive than Strip Mine by so much?
