I hate the more "typical" suggestions but to maximize Stickytongue Sentinel you should definitely run Experimental Synthesizer. It's extra card selection and so much more mana efficient than Papercraft Decoy, and still fills the artifact slot for affinity. Unfortunately it means dropping multiple copies of a frog so more of a flavor choice. A more interesting suggestion (r.i.p. your mana base) is Scrapyard Salvo. Nobody will be expecting it. Sac all of your artifacts to the munitions and throw out 6 or 7 damage to face for 3 mana. Run bolts or more control elements mainboard and you have frog burn. To keep as many frogs as possible, what I see for cuts are just Prizefight and the Beamtown Beatstick (or Sticky Fingers if going for the salvo taking the flavor loss). I'm surprised there are no Spore Frog's in the deck but considering it takes a creature aggro approach they aren't as good. If you go control or burn they are 100% needed though

Neotrup on ninjutsu with 0 toughness

Slight correction: If you Ninjitsu in response to Prizefight before it resolves, it will still create a treasure token on resolution, as it still has a legal target (your opponent's creature), but no damage will be dealt.

701.12b If one or both creatures instructed to fight are no longer on the battlefield or are no longer creatures, neither of them fights or deals damage. If one or both creatures are illegal targets for a resolving spell or ability that instructs them to fight, neither of them fights or deals damage.

I swing with a 4/4 creature, my opponent doesn't block. I cast Prizefight targeting the unblocked creature and a 4/4 creature my opponent controls. can I ninjutsu my unblocked creature before it goes to the graveyard?

Tur on Challenging Maarika

I believe that you're committing too much to your theme. There are too many cards which do the same thing. You should cut down on the instant/sorcery fight cards to maybe 5-6 cards (that is ~10% of the deck):

I suggest choosing some from these cards: Bite Down, Bushwhack, Cartouche of Strength, Chandra's Ignition, Fall of the Hammer, Go for Blood, Master's Rebuke, Nature's Way, Prey Upon, Prizefight, Tail Swipe, Ulvenwald Tracker

In my opinion, the best ones are: Bushwhack, Cartouche of Strength, Chandra's Ignition, Nature's Way, Prey Upon, Prizefight, Tail Swipe

Fight on a stick should be considered: Gruul Ragebeast or Kogla, the Titan Ape

Deathtouch to this theme is nice, but you're going to be doing 7 damage upon each fight. It's unlikely a creature will survive that fight. Therefore, you can cut back on deathtouch, that is Archetype of Finality, Bow of Nylea, Vorpal Sword, and Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar. Basilisk Collar is still good because of the lifelink. Saryth, the Viper's Fang is still good because of hexproof.

Furthermore, I would cut cards which deal damage based on how much Maarika receives. It will mostly be 3-5 damage. Such as, Fiendlash.

Because the commander is Voltron it needs many keyword abilities: haste, trample, and hexproof should be your bread and butter (no shroud for this deck). Enchantments or equipment which yield those keyword abilities are great.

There are a few Voltron related cards which I would suggest: Fiery Emancipation, Jeska, Thrice Reborn, and Hatred can one shot an opponent.

I hope this helps!

No, you must have the correct amount of targets to cast a spell. Prizefight requires both a creature you control and a creature you don't control to be targeted. Hex requires six creatures to target. Decimate requires an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a land to be targeted in order to cast.

Can I cast Prizefight without targeting any creatures? i.e. Casting it just for the Treasure token?

Thanks.
