How many cards to splash a color

So opinions wanted…retooling my Karador
shadowborn apostle
deck and with the changes I’m making, I literally will only have one green card left in the deck. Now it’s a really good card in the deck but in a deck with only one tutor, is it worth splashing a color for one card?

Do you plan on casting Karador at all?
If yes, you are already running a few green sources and adding/removing 1 green card in the 99 won't make the difference, imho.

Out of the hundreds of games I’ve played with the deck, I think I’ve cast Karador maybe a handful of times at most. Mostly picked her as the commander at a point where there wasn’t many good options in those colors.
The lone green card the changes leave is
Bloodbond March
. It’s a good enabler but I’m not sure keeping the third color for one card is worth it. I’m leaning towards just going Orzhov and going
Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim
as the commander. This would open up two slots in the deck and I’m pretty sure I already know what I’d slot in.

I think it's fine to keep just
Bloodbond March
in. It's a really good card.
You wouldn't even have to change the deck much. I'm sure you're already using some multicoloured lands that also tap for green (
Command Tower
), so that should be enough.

Bloodbond March
+ Karador to
revive
all your Apostles every turn seems worth it to me.

I appreciate the feedback. I've decided to leave
Bloodbond March
and keep splashing green. I may also add in
Assassin's Trophy
to upgrade the removal package. I will probably reduce the number of Forests in the deck (I was only running four anyway) and replace one of them with
Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth
.
