Easily the most commonly used skirmish event, Burn Every Village is a free strength boost to a man (that is, any minion but Saruman), at minimum +2 but often +4 with the various tools of Dunland to control sites. Since it is free, you won't usually have to choose between your ability to use Hides or play the event during a skirmish. Even if Legolas, Dauntless Hunter raises the cost, the natural strength of minions should render skirmish events unnecessary because of how poorly those decks tend to perform in skirmishes.
When Freca is played, Burn Every Village may be used to ensure he doesn't get killed in a skirmish. Early in the game, +4 is often more than enough to prevent an overwhelm from strength reduction such as from Cirdan. When combined with Over the Isen, Burn Every Village can be used to pick off support companions with an overwhelm. Giving a minion +4 in a skirmish all but guarantees most will win their skirmish, triggering culture's characteristic skirmish-won effects such as from Dunlending Pillager, Dunlending Arsonist, Wulf, and War Cry of Dunland.
