A choke deck with the Season Agenda.

Plots/ Chars:
* Bungled Orders: combine it with Valar
* The Power of Blood x2 for your _Nobles_ which are:
- Asha x2 --> Power Grabber
- Balon x2 --> +2 STR on all chars is huge
- The Sparr x2 --> choke income
- Baelor x1 --> choke income
- Gylbert x 2 --> choke reducers (unfortunately your own as well)

Other Chars:
- Quarl --> Intimidate (Modifiers are +2 Balon; +4 Winter Armada; +2 Longship Iron Victory; maybe +2 by himself)
- Wintertime Marauders x3
- Newly Made Lord x1 (only 1 because you have a lot of other location control and 3 Gold is pretty much in a choke deck)

Other Chokes:
- White Raven
- Burned and Pillaged x3 (combine this with Support of the Kingdom to steal _any_ location which is not immune to events)
- Seized x1 (play this one on your own location to get rid off attachments)
- Ice Fisherman x3
- Maester Murenmure x1 (stand him with The Inn of the kneeling man)
- Support of the Kingdom (the Winter Reserves should really help here)

Events:
- Green Dream x3 (a main reason to run the agenda; lets you pull a lot of things like...)
- Winter Reserves x3 (when you go first you may benefit from the 1 extra gold from the Icy Fisherman you get during the marshalling phase from you opponent; and a 1 cost 4 STR tricon with deadly is pretty insane)

I made some changes to run Winter Reserves (SA). They highly profit from Ice Fisherman (TWoW) when you made it to steal gold but only after you have mashalled.
I think the Reserves/Reinforcements cards are highly underrated, and the Ice Fisherman (TWoW) is a good solution for them. Only running one White Raven (TWoW) seems risky though. Also, why are you running 3x Fishwhiskers (CtB)? You have so many of the GJ saves, why not run him 1x and put in some Distinguished Boatswain (TftRK) cards instead? It doesn't look like you have any shadows cards, or have a particular need for unique characters or Captains.

Yes, I made some adjustments like you proposed:
+ White Raven / -Fishwinkers

I also added some cancels, Maybe these aren´t still enogh
+ Alannys / - Black Wind
+ Fingerdance / - Winter Reserves.
Green Dream seems great but as the agenda makes you discard at the end of the dominance phase won't you often be forced to discard perfectly good cards from your hand the turns you play Green Dreams?
It more like swaping the Green Dream (FaI) to mostly Wintertime Marauders (ACoS) or Balon Greyjoy (FaI), Winter Reserves (SA), The Kingsroad 23 (FaI) in the dominance phase. Sometimes I don´t make it winter in the fist round - it depends on my hand size but yes, sometimes you are forced to discard very good cards (as is you opponent).
