About Zapaderin
Zapaderin, Action modifier, designed by Alexander Dunnigan first released in September 2007 in the set Lords of the Night and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Zapaderin fits a multi-minion Ravnos deck that takes important bleed, vote, or other actions while an older Ravnos stays unlocked to support them; it is especially useful if the likely blockers are allies or younger vampires. Its weakness is that it costs 1 blood, ties up a second minion, and does nothing against vampires at least as old as the modifying Ravnos. If your acting minions have the disciplines, conventional stealth cards such as **Fata Morgana** (Chimerstry) or **Lost in Crowds** (Obfuscate) are generally better because they do not depend on the blocker’s age or an unlocked Ravnos. I would not make Zapaderin a staple, but a copy could be worthwhile in a deck built around an older Ravnos supporting other minions, particularly in a metagame with many younger blockers.
