Two copies of Frey Hospitality (LotR) is a no-go.
A lot of variability in this deck - so many x1s. I know that is likely to maximize the usefulness of Casterly Rock (LotR) and Isle of Faces (APS). Not sure if the benefit they give is worth the randomness you are getting.

I recommend The Breaking of Oaths (KotS) to replace one of the copies of Frey Hospitality. If you can get Cersei to pull off three unopposed intrigue challenges and a final unopposed power challenge (at that point she should have deadly + stealth) that could be a swing of 8 power in one turn.
Not a huge fan of such little character recursion. I'd try to consolidate your character list. Also I would definitely make room for 3x Goldentooth Mines. I generally try to avoid using Summoning Season. If you don't draw into Cersei early, just stall with your other plots until you get her in hand. I'd also consider dropping some attachments, namely Pickpocket and Spidercraft. I lastly I wouldn't ever make a Lannister deck without A Lannister Pays His Debts.
