I guess nobody's really spamming Virulent Sliver and Strionic Resonator, or holding back a Nimble Obstructionist for Snake Cult Initiation triggers...
For the sake of devil's advocacy and nitpicking, though, deathtouch was templated as a triggered ability on Thornweald Archer and stayed that way until Zendikar (Giant Scorpion). Why not re-template poisonous? I'm not sure the connotations of poisonous and toxic are that different.

Sorry I was the bearer of bad news, otherwise Halvar would be very strong in her.
But the changes you've made look very good and should speed up your game a bit or make it more consistent.
I found two creature cards that might fit your theme: Thornweald Archer has deathtouch, which works great with Arc Spitter.
Stalking Leonin removal for heavy creatures.
And Kindred Summons could work in her, but the cmc is a little bit high.
As you mentioned turbo comdo decks are your problem, maybe Deafening Silence or Silence helps?
White has some annoying ways taxing there opponents or even prevent them from casting spells, which comes in handy against combo decks. Aura of Silence/Authority of the Consuls/Smothering Tithe

Incredible budget combo elves

That’s a little more difficult to say. Another issue I see is that there are many 1 and 2 ofs. That’s not necessarily a bad thing if they function extremely similarly (for instance if a deck runs 1x Elvish Mystic and 1x Llanowar Elves, they’re basically the same card), but with so many different creatures at 1 copy apiece synergy is lacking.
It seems the basic strategy is to ramp into a decent amount of mana quickly and then play a bomb. I’d lean into this 100% and cut anything that doesn’t contribute toward it; cards like Thornweald Archer, Talara's Battalion, Scavenging Ooze etc don’t really add anything.
Try visualizing the different wedges of your strategy. You want the best ramp cards you can afford, the best non creature spells that synergize with your goal, and the best bombs you have to capitalize on all the mana you’re generating.

Yeva - Mono Green
2 years ago
Yeva is my favourite mono coloured commander, as she really changes how green typically plays. Nice list! A few things..
1) Land count seems a little low, especially as your ramp seems to rely more on Seedborn Muse style effects. Stuff like Farhaven Elf and Elvish Pioneer work well for me. Also get Emergence Zone in there, handy flash back-up plan if Yeva is MIA.
2) Yeva protection. She'll have a target on her head, so more Heroic Intervention style effects are great. I use Withstand Death and Blossoming Defense.
3) Bounce effects. Instant speed creatures are great, but being able to repeatly cast for value is better. Temur Sabertooth is a baller, and even stuff like Stampeding Wildebeests and Stampeding Serow work really well.
4) Other creatures. Thorn Mammoth is hilarious, Bellowing Tanglewurm can make your beaters unblockable, Thornweald Archer and Deadly Recluse are great for surprise blockers.

I like Thornweald Archer on defense. I also like Inviolability (an aura, I know, but hear me out). I love putting it on creatures like Wall of Glare , Palace Guard , Guardian of the Gateless , Hundred-Handed One etc. Or putting it on Palisade Giant .

Decent deck. You might think about getting that average cmc below 2.5 but besides that I like it
So don't take my recommendations as me disliking your deck, but I'd suggest adding Eidolon of Blossoms,Enchantress's Presence, Fertile Ground, Sigil of the Empty Throne, Wild Growth, Overgrowth, Tuvasa the Sunlit
, Setessan Champion, Bear Umbra, Winds of Wrath, Arcane Signet, Thought Vessel. But consider which of the higher cmc ones you y like because average cmc is important
Suggested cuts would be: Charisma, Thornweald Archer, Rofellos's Gift, Grimoire of the Dead, Traverse the Ulvenwald, Predator Ooze, Revoke Existence, Rayne, Academy Chancellor, Lux Cannon, Stonecoil Serpent, Behemoth Sledge, Necropede, Wall of Denial, Spawning Grounds (as cool as it is, it's likely going to get the land it's on blown up), and think about taking out some of your etb tapped lands. Again these are suggestions and in no way am I saying these cards aren't good.
Anyways, hope it helps and I do like the deck, estrid proliferate is a good place for this commander
