- Similar to
Ysera, this card's Deathrattle does not draw a card from the player's deck, but generates a random collectible Beast minion card and places it into their hand.[1]
- Webspinner can generate any collectible Beast minion in the game, including neutral Beasts and those specific to any class.[1] This includes Beasts from all card sets, and all adventures and expansions, regardless of whether the player owns them or not.[2] Beasts of any rarity may be generated, from common Beasts like the Ironfur Grizzly to legendary Beasts like
Malorne. Uncollectible Beasts like those from Animal Companion will not be generated.[1]
- As with all random effects, all possible cards are equally likely to be generated; a player is as likely to generate King Krush as they are to generate a
Snowflipper Penguin.
- Webspinner can cause the player to possess multiples of cards beyond ordinary deck limits, including multiples of legendary Beasts like King Mukla,
Maexxna and The Beast.[1]
- If augmented by Baron Rivendare's ongoing effect, this minion's Deathrattle will generate two Beast cards for the controlling player. These draws will be made separately, and may therefore result in two of the same Beast, or more likely two different Beasts.[3]

Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Betrayal of the Guardian" series, for the card Blackfang Tarantula.
- Webspinner served to "set the stage" for the later introduction of Unstable Portal and the various piloted shredder minions in Goblins vs Gnomes, employing a similar design but with a far greater degree of RNG.[4] Ben Brode states that players responded "very well" to Webspinner's random generate ability, and as a result the designers "doubled-down" the mechanic for Goblins vs Gnomes.[4]
