If you plan on running The Iron Throne (ASitD) I would seriously consider pairing it with Melisandre (RotO) rather than the Core version. I feel like you also have too many attachments. I would run 5 at the most. Also, I like running Altar of Fire (RoR). Lastly, income looks like it's going to be a bit of a problem. At the very least I would trade a Aegon's Garden (Core) for a Kingdom of Shadows (KotS) since it's not limited.

I would drop Litany of Light (TIoR), since you're not using plots like Schemes of the Scholar (HtS) or Outwit (TIoR). Your Shadow Enchantress (OSaS) will buff your Asshai plenty on their own. I would also drop either the Black Amethysts (MotM) or the
Cleansing Light (FtC), as you have a lot of attachments, and dropping some events and attachments would give you room for things like more production/reducers or the Altar of Fire (RoR).

And as Reinert mentioned the Return of the Others Mel would fit better in this deck.

I would back up all this Altar of Fire love people are bringing up. An Asshai deck is already a weirdly fragile beast (being out of House Baratheon and all), so having selected discard and consistent knowledge of the enemy hand is a significant boon. You can easily make room for 2-3 of them by bumping out the cards mentioned by the previous two commenters.
If you really like Litany of Light enough to include it (much less 3x of it), then might I suggest using Schemes of The Scholar to take advantage of the crest buff, or Outwit so you can use it defensively (you WILL get valared at some point, and with Bara's terrible card draw, coming back can be problematic, Outwit lets you dodge it if you can time it right).

Thanks for the input, I changed alot of the things you guys said, I like the core Mel but the ROTO Mel is better for winning. I added both Outwit and Schemes, totally forgot about those plots. And again thank you for your help.
Looking much better. I would rather have Fanatic (RoR) x3 over Cleansing Light (FtC), since it makes your The Power of Faith (KotStorm) turns ridiculously powerful. I'd also recommend Seat of Power (WotN) for a post-valar flood of characters. Baratheon is somewhat forced into a rush playstyle regardless of sub-theme. I really like Acolyte of the Flame (TWH) as well if you can make some room. I'd probably drop a Syrio, a Smuggler, and a Watcher of the Nightfire to run Acolyte x3. The card is that good.

I feel like this could use 2-3 of the regular best Baratheon characters... a core Rob, Brienne, and Knight of Flowers, and VM Stannis would go a long way.
