Game Of Thrones Season 7: Every Death Ranked From Worst To Best

Cause Of Death: Drank the poison that was given to her by Jaime Lannister.

From one great player to another, Olenna Tyrell was so good at the game of thrones that even when she died, she still managed to win.

Despite the Lannisters taking Highgarden and House Tyrell falling, Olenna goes out on top by using her death scene to reveal she was the one behind Joffrey's death. The look on Jaime's face is priceless, Diana Rigg gives one last showcase for how perfect her casting was, and that final line - "Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me." - are some of the best last words in the series.
