As always it looks super solid! I don't have 3x core sets, or confessions, so I'd make a few changes for my own version.
I kind of really like Black Amethysts (MotM) and Martial Law (BoRF) in a deck like this, and Ser Eldon Estermont (MotM) to really make those unopposed hurt. Of course, they're not going to be able to block much on the Power of Faith turns anyways.

What about Seal of the Crown (APS) for extra draw? Since you're not running an agenda (till Shireen hits), it should work well, and once Shireen is you agenda, the second part should hurt your opponent more then you. That or Ruby of R'hllor (KotStorm), since you have some good discard support.
Yeah Black Amethysts is a great card and always something that I have wanted to put in a deck, but I just don't think its needed really. I mean I'm going to win challenges on Power of Faith turns no problem. I guess it would help on the non power of faith turns, but I don't think I really need to worry about those turns. Plus, I really don't like having many attachments in my deck, and I already have 3. I could probably find room for it in a holy hand grenade deck though since I won't really be relying on power of faith in those decks. As for Martial law, its something I haven't really ever used, I just don't like spending 2 gold on an attachment. Eldon Estermont could be good, I kept him out though to keep the gold curve down. You could probably find room for him though.

Seal of the Crown is probably needed in this deck. I just haven't played with it enough to recommend it. Plus, it does get awkward with Shireen. Ruby might be OK in here as well, I just hate spending the gold on it. Good suggestions though! I'd love to see your version of the deck!
Yeah, with all the attachment hate in the environment, it would be nice to see some functional recursion and even some discounts like the free cities except for attachments (outside of Maesters and Chains of course). A turn one or two black amethyst can really help sometimes though. Deadly and stealth is a weakness of this deck.

For sure though, now that I think about it, Shireen kind of turns the seal into a dead card for you in this deck. (I often found I'd get one turn of draw or even none out of it when I played them in the same deck.) But if you have some more draw on top of it and The Laughing Storm, you can have some interesting things happen. But that's another variation entirely.
Yeah, I really wish Baratheon had more repeatable card recursion. I do think they are going in the right direction though with Fiery Kiss and Glamour of Fire. Maybe we'll see some more!

Maybe I need to just take out Shireen? or put in extra challenge Robert?
Only if you're going to put the seal in.... Actually, if you wanted you could put glamour of fire in to only kill Shireen when you wanted, except you have to draw into it.

But really, Double Crown Robert gives you essentially double the power, while Shireen gives you an extra two one one character. Shireen only really shines if you have her as an agenda early, and have a vigilant renown character. Lets say you have Mel with fanatic and Shireen on your house turn 2, you're only going to pull 3 renown power (plus claim) per turn total with her unless she is a tricon (5 for power of faith turns).
Now, that little bump might give you the game, but if you have more challenges (especially crown) then it just gets crazy.
Now if you just have robert and 3 or 4 characters with renown, assuming you win, you'll get between 8-10 power without claim! It's crazy expensive, and someone is probably going to valar or red wedding you, but its still a massive swing.

It makes sense, cause of the cost difference between Shireen and Robert, but I hope that gives you a better idea of where you want to go.

If they're both on the field, and you have a vigilant tri-con, then it just gets crazy. 9 power just on renown, plus 2 for power claim, plus any unopposed. And it's not like a massive glass cannon combo, because there are so many extra cards which can give you extra challenges (if you lose robert,) or guys with renown (which you can stand).

Okay, maybe it IS a delicate "glass cannon", but it sure is shiny. B)
Yeah, good call there. I can't believe I never thought of Glamour of Fire on Shireen. lol Great idea there! hmmm you've definitely given me a lot to think about! Thanks a ton, Archrono!
