It may be won by alliances. But if you have three offensive powerhouses....I think it might do just as well, if not better.
The example Tom and I have been discussing today is of ours last year on Einstein.
195 was having issues, from Newton Elims, that we could not identify, but they were still semi functional. With this option, we could have put in 111 as our third partner (note, they were the first pick of the A.C., this is what we were told and basing our theory off of).
The question we had was "Which would win; 25, 968, 195, or 25, 968, 111?" We both had a hearty laugh about it, and continued on with different ideas.
While yes, the A-Bomb, would not have been implemented without 195, but with 111 on our side, why would we need it? This year was different as you know, and definitely very alliance oriented though. I was talking to some other s online at the time of selections, and as soon as you made your alliance, I had declared you guys the clearcut winner of Newton, and my odds-on favorite for Einstein, just because I knew the compatability, and the style you guys woudl play.
