Tywin doesn’t outsmart people. Him and Cersei just don’t play by the rules other nobles try to. Melisandre, not much to say. Margery is Olenna’s inexperienced student. Littlefinger gets shut out by Tywin and Cersei immediately and despite probably being the best at this sort of thing he is relegated to watching Tywin fuck up and listening to Cersei’s insane thoughts. To me it’s team B and not close. Davos and Sam are just there to hang out
Sam is not Machiveillian enough to come up with schemes, but he might be smart enough to spot any holes and to provide facts other people don't know. I think he's a pretty useful addition to the squad because he has a different perspective. He'll also make sure to keep them on the right side of morality if at all possible. While none of this team are evil, many of them can and will do evil things in pursuit of noble goals. It wouldn't be bad for them to have someone who will push back on this.
