It can be demoralizing to have one's minions systematically and repeatedly brought down to 0 strength, providing an automatic overwhelm almost regardless of how strong Cirdan himself is. Cirdan's ability is now self-limiting, in that every time it's utilized to get a slam-dunk skirmish, it reduces the effectiveness of all future uses of the ability.

Strategy

Gameplay Strategy

Easily one of the most powerful Elves, and arguably the best skirmisher, Círdan is a must in any deck that runs Elven events. With the potential ability to reduce a minion's strength by up to 20 late-game, Círdan can easily defeat powerful minions such as Sauron or The Balrog. Because of his potent ability and synergy with Galadriel, Lady Redeemed (10R11) Círdan is viewed as overpowered or broken by some players. Nonetheless, he was never X-Listed in any format, and therefore many players include him with their Elf decks.

Deckbuilding Strategy

Círdan is a natural fit in a Elvent (Elven Events) deck in any format from Movie onwards, working well with Galadriel, Lady Redeemed (10R11) or with the brothers from set 14, Elladan, Son of Elrond (14R2) and Elrohir, Son of Elrond (14R3). He would not, however, fit well in a Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor (18R12) build as the number of events in the discard would be less.
