I'd recommend against having any attachments beyond White Raven. Basically, if you ever need them, you almost certainly don't have them in-hand.
Consider (even if you dismiss the idea immediately) including The Nightfort (AHM). Melee can be helpful in a pinch. Salla's Escort Ship doesn't seem to be doing much, and overall its effect is like having another Smuggler's Cove, which is cheaper anyway.
I have doubts about most of the event cards you included. Superior Claim, should you find you often win by 4 or more, could be amazing, especially if you include Make an Example.
Your plot card selections are great. I have my doubts about Melisandre's Scheme, personally, because I haven't found cards (character cards, least of all) to reliably end up in the Discard. If you just have it there for gold, you might consider (ironically) A Song of Summer (ASoS) in its place--more gold and better initiative.
The Bastard of Nightsong (VM) is another good opportunity for some power-abitrage. It's like he's got renown, only it removes power from an opponent as well! Since he won't have to kneel with The Wall and Winter active, he could do this twice per challenge phase!
You might want to throw in Kingsroad Fiefdom (QoD) for extra initiative. I'm not certain whether you should or not.
