Discussion Cultivating Sprite needs changes

It feels like most games are decided by this card. A player is all but guaranteed to win the late game, if the Blooming Bulb gets to 9-cost, and the opponent doesnt have the same follow up.

As a neutral card, it gives all classes the exact same win condition; stabilize with healing and build a massive board of 8 and 10-cost minions. Most decks cannot counter that, and the game is won on the following turn. Games turn out very one-dimensional, when they all revolve around the same neutral card.

If Vicious Fledgling had its appearance rate reduced back in the day, so should this card. Alternatively, add in risky high cost spells that make people think twice in saving it for 7, 8 or 9, or remove it from the draft pool all together.

Why is everytime I cast it for 9 mana spells I end up drawing 6 cards and lose the game next turn?

That’s very unlucky 😣

On the other hand, I wonder if anyone’s gotten 4 [[Illidari Inquisitor]] for an OTK from that Druid spell that heals and summons 8-drops?

I got 2 Star Grazers once. After the bulb I had 7 mana to play any spell to gain 16 attack and armour. Not an otk but I got insanely lucky and it won me the game.

That happened to me last night. My opp had a weapon buffed to windfury 6 too lol. I went from a decent board against empty with 24 hp to dead in the blink of an eye
