Nice deck!

Consider Tail Swipe instead of Titanic Brawl for one mana instant speed fight. Ram Through is also quite good

As for other new cards, Bloated Contaminator and Evolving Adaptive are quite interesting, the later being able to get bonus from proliferating both oil and +1/+1 counters, given you manage to get it a +1/+1 counter first, maybe with Snakeskin Veil or Hunger of the Howlpack, I mean, it's food for thought.

I was building a stompy around Syr Faren, the Hengehammer, can finish the game as soon as turn 3.

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!

Tail Swipe, Path to Exile, Time Wipe, Swords to Plowshares, Eladamri's Call, Mirari's Wake, Aura Shards, and Rapid Hybridization are also great adds.

Looks like a quite solid build. You might want to look at some post-VOW spells like Tail Swipe and Tamiyo's Safekeeping, both fit your creature-based archetype pretty well. Additionally, Quirion Beastcaller could be really helpful here as it seems to fit your sub-theme of +1/+1 counters, as well as just fitting creature builds really well in general. Last suggestion, change the Racers' Rings for more Rockfall Vale, those are considerably better in pretty much every situation.
