The character base seems a bit thin on cheap characters, but on the other hand you have a ton of reducers so it might not be that big of a problem. Have you tried the deck out?
Your gold curve is very high. Try and work in lower cost characters like the refugees.
You are fairly lacking in renown characters, and renown characters are, IMO, the reason to run Baratheon Alliance. Also, non-kneeling knight of flowers is amazing, I'd try use him over the other knight of flowers I think.
What are the maesters bringing to the table?
Also, assault of the kraken is very good, you should try and work it in. And body guard is pretty nice as well.
@Laxen: The main reason to run out of Greyjoy instead of Baratheon is the emphasis on unopposed challenges and the ability to make more of those challenges. Such as with Assault of the Kraken and scouting vessel. Beyond that Iron Mines helps protect from Baratheon's worst nightmare, a board sweep.
It's quite true the gold curve fact, however I try to pack a lot of reducers to lower the impact of those high character costs. The refugees although is a good idea =)
About the lack of renown, I'm emphasising in vigilant and joust instead of renown to make a lot of unopposed challenges per round, and to take advantage of that...with that said, the joust Knight of flowers adjust to that concept, making a 3 to 5 power gain per round (if the conditions are right) but the non-kneeling has renown, and a lower cost, so I'm still thinking about that.
Murenmure is there to cancel the negative of my agenda, while Cressen is there for the meta (but is expendable).
Assault of the kraken is good, considering the amount of standing characters available, and bodyguard deserves a try.
Was it Drinking the Sea and Rise of the Kraken?
exactly (and perhaps assault of the kraken)
