Originally from Dark Ascension, Falkenrath Aristocrat was quite a boss creature back in her Standard days. She was a part of several top decks during her time in Standard. Nowadays, she's pretty much just a casual card, although she shows up alongside Marchesa, the Black Rose, Olivia Voldaren, and others in Commander. In Modern Masters 2017, her rarity was downgraded to rare from mythic rare.
As an aside, Falkenrath Aristocrat still sees a lot of play in the European Highlander format in a deck known commonly as 4-Color Blood. It's a 100-card singleton format like Commander, except without a Commander. It's a cool format, actually, so she'll still being seeing play there.
While she wasn't an expensive card as of her reprint, around $3, she'll now be extremely cheap. She doesn't really see any play at all in Modern, but she's still a decent card to have at rare. But without a huge amount of competitive demand (outside of European Highlander), she'll be a very cheap card before long.
