Warning: Spoilers for "Game of Thrones" season seven, episode four, "The Spoils of War." If you aren't caught up on the series, read at your own risk.
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.
Now that we're getting closer and closer to the end of the series, that powerful quote from Cersei back in season one is proving to be true.
Any week, anyone can go, and anyone can lose or gain a lot of power.
In "The Spoils of War," there are significant power shifts, as Daenerys wins a major battle after a major loss last week, and Cersei's wins come back to haunt her. This week many characters made good and bad decisions, and they all had some consequences.
Every week, we'll round up which character was the smartest, the dumbest, the luckiest, and more in our power rankings.
Here's the "Game of Thrones" power rankings based on season seven episode four, "The Spoils of War" in order of who won and who lost.

The smartest: Bronn
Bronn's skills in battle and incredible instincts come together in the end when he saves Jaime Lannister from dying via Drogon breath. He also chooses not to reach for his bag of gold, which he drops during the battle, saving himself from likely destruction.
The dumbest: Jaime Lannister
Tyrion was right in calling Jaime an idiot as he heads toward Daenerys and Drogon. He is clearly blinded by his love for Cersei. When will it end?
The luckiest: Jaime Lannister, Cersei Lannister
Jaime is lucky Bronn saves him from turning into Drogon ash.
And Cersei is lucky that the money meant to pay the crown's debt to the Iron Bank makes it to King's Landing before Daenerys, Drogon, and the Dothraki attack the Lannister army. She's also lucky her beloved brother/lover didn't die defending her.
