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. | 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]].
