Interaction between Meltemental and Frostbitten Freebooter

Meltemental (M) states that it’s permanently Frozen, and Frostbitten Freebooter’s (FF) deathrattle says “[…] any that were already Frozen take 5 damage instead.” Shouldn’t FF’s deathrattle get triggered on M then, since it’s “Frozen”. I know for a fact that if you freeze an enemy character with e.g., Glacial Shard then FF’s deathrattle will deal 5 damage to them.

sorry but my poke-mon brain has to ask what the interaction with Meltemental (F) is?

but on a serious note more then likely an issue with the coding for it to be “permanently frozen” that it doesn’t have the “buff” frozen on it, I know there recently was a bug that allowed them to attack while “permanently frozen”, I think it involved them “unfreezing” after a blizzard kind of thing
