Painted Canvasaur sometimes fails to give bonus effects

I played Ball of Spiders to summon three webspinners, which are beasts. I then immediately played Painted Canvasaur. One of the webspinners was given taunt, but the other two were apparently not given anything.

The unaffected webspinners:

  • Did not get Taunt. Their frame did not become shield-shaped.
  • Did not get Windfury. No wind animation appeared on them.
  • Did not get Divine Shield. No shield overlay appeared over them.
  • Did not get Poisonous. No poison flask appeared on them.
  • Did not get Elusive. No elusive haze appeared on them.
  • Did not get Rush. They were still asleep, despite an enemy minion being present.
  • Did not get Lifesteal. No heart appeared on them.
  • Did not get Reborn. No cracked cyan overlay appeared on them.

Maybe I missed something? If so, I’d like to know about it, and the game should probably do a better job of making what happened visible.

Those minions have a natural Deathrattle, and minions can’t show two ability icons at once.

If a minion has Deathrattle and Lifesteal, the skull icon is displayed most of the time. The broken heart icon only appears briefly, when it deals damage.

And I’m not certain, but I think the same applies to Poisonous.

So, I’m guessing those two spiders got Lifesteal or Poisonous, but the skull icon was still displayed because Deathrattle takes precedence most of the time.

Did you hover over them? Shuteye had a good point. It’s also possible there was a visual glitch and they got something which should have been seen.
