The Meathook Massacre, keep or sell now?

As mentioned in the title, I was wanting to hear some thoughts on whether or not I should part with my foil promo The Meathook Massacre which I just opened for other cards that I need? My thoughts are to sell/trade I believe.
I would like to add that I don't play standard nor do I have an immediate use for it actually anywhere else considering I don't yet at this time play Pioneer (although someday I might with a or deck or something), nor for Commander. Although I'm just curious where people may see the price of this card going in the future?

I agree with Icbrgr, if you don't have any use for it or any other attachment to it, I would trade it in for something you want. I don't know much about newer sets so I'm not sure how likely it is to lose value when it rotates out of standard or gets reprinted, but I would take that into consideration as well.
That being said, I have quite a few cards I have no use for but I kept because I thought they were neat to have.

Thanks to the both of you for your thoughts Icbrgr and Squee_Spirit_Guide! There's no shortage of other things I want for other decks atm such as a Mana Drain, Scalding Tarn, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Smothering Tithe, Black Market Connections to name just a few so I think I'll be doing that. And hopefully if I ever need copies of it for some / Pioneer deck or something they'll hopefully be a bit cheaper later sometime and not a case of something like The Great Henge which remains quite pricey.
I have had a few regrets with a few cards in the past like a masterpiece Feast of Famine and Chalice of the Void which in hindsight I wish I maybe had kept (even though I got a fair price for them both in past times).

Ran out of time for another edit, meant to add that sometimes I do like to hold onto a few things too which I don't have an immediate use for simply because I like them and could anticipate a future use or at least trade fodder. But in this case I see other stuff I definitely want more over it.

I don’t see it retaining its value post standard, in fact I expect it to drop dramatically
I’d compare it to something like Killing Wave

I’d be interested in it…I’m sure I have a lot of the stuff you’re looking for instead.

DISCLAIMER I'M A HYPOCRIT
My thoughts are if you know a card is worth some money...and could use some money for other things... no real thought out plan to use the card... sell/trade it for something that makes you happier.
I have lots of cards that I dont/havent followed this advice on... for example I have Oboro, Palace in the Clouds from when I built a janky mill deck years ago... only reason it hasnt been sold/traded is because im lazy so it sits in a shoebox with a bunch of other cards.
