The icon removal aspect of Martell is a powerful one, but rather than just Nymeria Sand, I also wanted to munchkin the attachment icon removal cards as well. Given that they aren't Terminal, they can keep coming back to annoying the opponent making mono-con's useless and irritating the hell out of others. Confinement was tempting, but I can't find room for it as I'd rather have constant/permanent removal of icons rather than just a temporary measure. Milk of the Poppy adds insult to injury against any annoying characters.

Military is not the Sun's strong suit, but with Tyene Sand and Tears of Lys about there are other ways of killing off characters especially when Attainted has done it's work. If a character manages to become too much for me to handle, then Ghaston Grey is there to deal with them, usually the tri-con's or high cost characters.

I think the economy is solid enough, you got the basics and Fealty so even The Red Viper can come out to play. His Viper Eyes compounds intrigue challenges further and allows for hand knowledge to be gained from the opponent as well as removing problematic cards.

I know that Weapons at the Door could be annoying, but no-one outside of Greyjoy uses that and even then not every Greyjoy player does. Worse comes to worse, there's always Wildfire Assault

My queries are:

Is Arianne Martell necessary? There aren't many targets for her apart from a couple. But then who would take her place?

Is the plot deck good enough?

Is A Noble Cause worth being there with only 5 Lord or Lady cards in your deck?

Banners will replace Noble easily. The other suggestions sound quite good as well actually.

Consider a second Wildfire.
Icon removal is at its strongest when you can keep the board small. The choice of "Do I save a Tyrion who is both Attainted and Condemned, or do I kill him and send those attachments back to my opponent?" is a wonderful pickle to put your opponent in.
And they'll never see the second one coming.
