Strategy[edit]
A Gandalf Man ally with the ability to dismantle an opponent's conditions, Albert Dreary, Entertainer From Bree is a popular card in almost any deck that features the Gandalf culture. With the ability to discard any Moria or Isengard condition during the maneuver phase, Albert Dreary is invaluable in a large Fellowship deck against Greed. Additionally, the Free Peoples player can target cards with effects on the Archery, Assignment, Skirmish, or Regroup phases, such as Isengard weather conditions or Goblin Armory (1R173) , which might prevent wounds.
As a Gandalf character, Albert Dreary can be tutored with A Wizard Is Never Late (1R87) as soon as the Free Peoples player can spot Gandalf.
This is one of the few character cards featuring Peter Jackson. Another is Castamir of Umbar (8R51) .
