This is not a misprint.

The value in this card is that with its Flaunt ability and zero ranks, it can be put into play, unzapped, on your opponent's turn, when they are not expecting it (and perhaps when they think you have no defenses). Hence the name 'Surreptitious'.

The drawback to it, is that after that, as it sits in your Hoard, it takes up more and more ranks, until you eventually decide to zap and discard it.
