[[Return of the King]] has [[companion]] cards for several of the various guards and soldiers defending Minas Tirith. '''Cirion'''? Well, he's certainly one of them.
== Gameplay Strategy ==
''In this section, describe:''
 
* ''General usage''
* ''Unorthodox or subtle usage''
* ''Common pitfalls of using this card''


If you play Cirion perfectly, always managing your hand correctly, he's 7 [[strength]] and 3 [[vitality]], which honestly isn't bad for a filler [[Starting Fellowship|starting companion]] at a 2 [[twilight cost]]. The problem is that he competes with {{Card|Vorondil}}, who is similar but has 7 strength more of the time and has a sometimes-useful ability on top of that, and {{Card|Faramir, Ithilien Ranger}}, who is always strength 7, has a questionably-useful ability, has occasionally-useful [[keyword]]s, and can use {{Card|Faramir's Bow}}. If you're investing very heavily in {{C|Gondor}}{{--}}and why else are you looking at Z-list Gondorians?{{--}}then there are many better options, like {{Card|Faramir, Captain of Gondor}}, {{Card|Alcarin, Warrior of Lamedon}}, {{Card|Denethor, Wizened Steward}}, and {{Card|Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith}}. Cirion just doesn't do anything in particular, and doesn't have any useful keywords like [[Knight]]. There's rarely any call for a companion this generic, especially one that needs so much micromanagement to be even moderately worthwhile.
== Deckbuilding Strategy ==
''In this section, describe:''


He's one of a handful of {{C|Gondor}} cards in [[Return of the King]] that care about the size of your hand, like {{Card|Derufin}}, {{Card|Dervorin}}, and the rarely played {{Card|Hasty Repairs}}. Unlike his comrades-in-arms Derufin and Dervorin, Cirion just doesn't do anything to make him worthwhile when compared to the main characters of the story.

* Technically, maintaining his ability will also maintain the conditions for {{Card|Derufin}} or {{Card|Dervorin}}. That's not so much "synergy" as "an interesting coincidence", though.

* ''List enemy cards this card does well against''

* Cards that discard cards from your hand, especially unpredictable ones like {{Card|Orc Inquisitor}}.
* ''List enemy or friendly cards to avoid playing this card with''
* He's not especially strong. Most Shadow decks are prepared to handle a strength 7 companion with no special abilities to speak of.
 
= Rulings =
''In this section'':
 
* ''Put quotes from the CRDs and Comprehensive Rules here that reference this card specifically by name''
* ''Also put quotes if a particular rule commonly affects the outcome of a card in a subtle manner (such as quoting the [[Rule of 4]] for {{Card|8R20}})''
* ''Link to rules discussions on TLHH''


= Trivia =
= See Also =
* Cirion's character does not have a name or credit in ''The Return of the King'' film. He's an uncredited [[Cameos|cameo]] by film co-producer Rick Porras, appearing as one of the two soldiers guarding the Beacon of Minas Tirith. Cirion was named by Decipher, after [https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Cirion one of the Stewards of Gondor who preceded Denethor] from ''The Lord of the Rings'' novels' appendices.
* ''Add links to the wayback machine (or wiki archival links) for official Decipher articles regarding the card''
* ''Link to decks that use this card''
