You can't run Wilt-Leaf Liege in the deck due to the half-white cost of the card. You're also really heavy into the lands. You could probably drop 2 lands and Wilt-Leaf Liege and add in more utility. Heroic Intervention, Veil of Summer, and Sudden Spoiling would be all good adds to the deck. Low cost and can be useful on attack and defensive.

The white half of wilt-leaf says that it can be paid for with either green or white mana...so it's perfectly fine. I do agree that it is land heavy; and adding heroic intervention etc would be great!! I always run heroic intervention in a tribal deck, or really any green deck :)

No, actually it's not fine. It's like that for a reason. You can run Crypt Ghast in a mono-black deck fine because the white mana symbol is only a reminder. In Wilt-Leaf Liege case - it's the physical cost of the card. This means it would be illegal in a Golgari deck. But go-ahead and run it, you'll be told to remove it the first time it gets played at a LGS or via online play :)

I'm not understanding the problem here. So it doesn't make it completely golgari...it's golgari that looks like it splashes white, even though you don't need white mana to pay for wilt-leaf. Am I missing something? because last time I checked, any spell that has a dual-color mana cost like that can be played with either mana color. Maybe it's the fact that I play more casual vs. tournament play. IDK

During say a standard, etc gameplay yes, But the way Commander works are you limiting yourself for cards based on your Commander right? so technically you can only play black/green cards. Having green/white like that technically wouldn't work even though you could still pay green to play it because your Commander is only black/green

You could go more into the deathtouch side - Fynn the Fangbearer makes it into a win con. Ohran frostfang and bow of nylea help with this.
If you're determined on staying all-elves, try Strixhaven Stadium. Suddenly, every 1/1 they let through brings them 10% closer to death.
