No doubt, so far Little finger gets the best results. But I think that this is to do with his total lack of compassion for the pones, and the fact he has no higher vision besides his own ambition. The spider plays the same level, but he is limited by his compassion to non players - (Tyrion, Ned) and his devotion to the realm and the people of the seven kingdoms.
This makes little fingers crush on Sansa fatal (to little finger) because his devotion for her narrows his maneuvering capabilities. Suddenly rapid and unpredictable moves (like killing Jofry for instance) may be limited by higher considerations that are defined by the strategic and now more defined goal (making Sansa happy).
As for Tyrion, he is cunning, charismatic, and comes with good references (illirio mopatis and the spiders, that means baristan) these are very good reason for dany to trust him (the plot I think, will produce even better ones). His fascination with dragons is his reason to join the cause.
However, in this stage, I don't see Tyrion as a major player, he is not cynical enough, much to emotionally involved with the pieces... |
