Warsaw Station and Domain Challenge

[Jozxyqk]

When does Warsaw Station's "the acting Nosferatu untaps" happen?
In the case of a Political Action, is it before referendum, after
referendum, or Methuselah's Choice?

Specifically, this is relevant to Domain Challenge, of course,
but there may be other cases...

[John Flournoy]

"You may tap this card when a Nosferatu announces an undirected
action. If that action is successful, the acting Nosferatu untaps. You
may burn this card (even if it is tapped) to move a Nosferatu in
torpor to the ready region."

Rulings page: "Cards and abilities that are usable only after a
successful action are used after the action is completed, including
any oustings."

I'd say that since Warsaw triggers on a successful action as the
requirement, it'd have to be after completion (and thus after the
resolution, including referendums.)

Correct.

[Juggernaut1981]

The card requires it to be tapped immediately, but are referendums
considered failed actions if they are defeated by votes?
Is this similar to the "Bleed for 0" scenario of a successful action
resulting in an unsuccessful bleed?

[Chris Berger]

Nope.

[LSJ]

That's "Nope" to the first question and "yep" to the second.

The action is successful if it resolves unblocked.
