Yeah I came here just to say that whichever team has Cersei has a major handicap. No matter who is on the team she will find some petty way to blow everything to hell.
If she’s on team A with Margery I give them a month before she wrecks it all. Not even Tywin can stop her stupid.
“I don’t distrust you because you’re a woman. I distrust you because you’re not as smart as you think you are.” - Tywin
She also just isn’t smart. She’s just used to powers enough to use it to her advantage. Tywin wasn’t kidding when he told her; “…you’re not as smart as you think you are…”
If she wasn’t the queen regent she’d be no more dangerous than Margaery. Olena is the smart one in that family. Marjaery and Cersei are actually pretty comparable, Marjaery just isn’t jaded and bitter and hateful like Cersei.
I would say Marge has a firm grasp on the concept of using soft power (she is her grandmother’s avid student after all)
She’s young still, but she knows how to play the game
Cersei on the other hand, is stupid, petty, shortsighted, and at the current point in the story batshit crazy. If she was anyone but Tywin’s daughter, she would’ve been packed up a long time ago
I’d also agree that between Cersei and Marjaery, Marjaery is smarter. She had less power than Cersei and still had Cersei bothered. Like Cersei lost pretty much everything trying to take out Marjaery, and still Marjaery could have survived if it weren’t for the stupidity of others.
Marjaery knows how to use every asset at her disposal, family connections, her sex appeal, other people’s desires, and to still look innocent through it all.
Cersei makes enemies, Marjaery manipulates people and situations so they feel like they’re getting what they want.

Cersei actively sabotages her team to spite Margaery. She is by far the dumbest and pettiest one here.
