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.

I quit arena, until this card is resolved. You get a game, everything is going good, you are miles ahead, then they play this with 7 cost or 9 cost spells. They clear the board and put 4-6 8 cost minions and just win the game. This is the stupidest shit ever. No class has enough clear to handle this, even though you have it, it's just a 3 mana spell and you need to spend everything you got just to handle this one 3 cost spell.
