Doesn't cryprian only damage a unit by 4? I got him in a keg long ago but never played him because it felt weak. Does weaken mean something else other than damage?

Weakening refers to base strength, whilst damaging takes the whole strength (also buffed) into account.
If you weaken a unit to 0 it banishes, that means that the unit won't hit the graveyard or trigger its deathwish, the interesting part against nekkers - it will still stay on the board if it was boosted priorly, to 10 for example.
1. Vanilla Nekker hits the board and Cyprian is played instantaneously: 4 -> 0 ; Destroyed and banished.
2. A boosted Nekker hits the board and Cyprian is played : 12 -> 8 ; The unit will be banished if it is removed from the battlefield (e.g. consumed or destroyed)
