The biggest boon to them being on a team is that Blackjacks Passive Fate Manipulation is more likely to take effect in a way that'll be immediately beneficial.

Discords ludicrious intelligence will tell him what he'll need to start with off the bat while Blackjack distracts him. Their only win condition, which would be sealing.

I should probably describe the scene he used it in detail. Blackjack had just had her pregnant body stolen from her by a lunatic AI with fragments of Lunas soul named Cognitum and was being held captive in a soul jar. A soul jar, despite what it sounds like is an inanimate object imbued with the soul of a pony. The Mane Six Statuttes Blackjack carries for example are soul jars due to possessing small fragments of the Mane Six's souls within them. Discord was gonna kill Cognitium regardless but that plan changed when Blackjack got captured. Long story short Discord needed to overexert himself using a sealing spell so Blackjack could continue fighting the main antagonist, get her kids back safely, and save the planet. When he did this the body he was inhabiting (not Boo at the time.) was completely destroyed and he needed time to recover again, only this time as bodyless soul.

Essentially since Discords in a body that Blackjack actually cares about and would have to be sacrificed to win, this is what I feel they would start off with. Massive problem being if it doesn't work for whatever reason they're significantly screwed and out haxed.
