So...

Third Place: Marshall Umber and Odysseus. Captain Cardboard is probably going to lose first, despite how freakishly overpowered Odysseus is. Discount Yorke himself is nothing too special, but Odysseus has the most powerful NPs in the entire tournament, bar Bhishma, which also synergize extremely well with Marshall's magic. This makes him a prime target, and Tanis and Erwin are likely to use the three days to ally with each other and plot his downfall. I see this starting as a two-on-one match, with Marshall falling under their combined onslaught.

Second Place: Erwin Rommel van der Zwaan and Michiel de Reuyter. They honestly benefit the least form planning time, and in fact are probably hindered. Their abilities and strategy are fairly straightforward, and don't rely too much on extra planning time to make use of it. He will ultimately be out-gambitted and fall, but not before helping Tanis take out Marshall.1

First Place: Tanis Faucheux and Cao Cao. The planning time benefits this pair the most. Cao Cao and Tanis have highly situational abilities, and their only chances at victory rely on finding some way to escape the combat or distract the other Masters and stab them in the back. The three days of recovery time for the Master and Servant least likely to participate in active combat against Risei and Bhishma is going to be extremely useful, and allow them to strategize and maneuver things to their advantage.
