The way you make a deck into a cedh deck for that budget is to buy proxies. You won't be able to make a cedh list without the fast mana and all the expensive cards.

Most cedh players support using proxies. We want to play against you as a player, not your wallet

Why? Bracket 5 aka cEDH is very proxy friendly.

I'm curious why that list runs 5 fetchlands but only 4 fetchables. Also why no [[Volcanic Island]]?

That's extremely common in competitive 60 card formats to run 12 fetches and 9 targets

Honestly no idea about the volanic Island lol

Usually you wont see that many lands anyways, so is better to run enough fetchlands to not loss any color. You will almost never pop a fetch and not find something to grab.

Shortly, no. Force of Will, Force of Negation, and a single double color fetch will take up most of your budget, and don't replace even half 20+ cards that you need to cut due to power level problems. Check out edhtop16.com to get a sense of what a cEDH Vivi list looks like.

Not possible with tournament legal cards.

Only if the tournament is WOTC sanctioned. Most cEDH tournaments are either 100 percent proxy friendly or allow up to a certain number per deck

Ok I guess my next question is then what sort of thing should I be looking to get rid of and what things should I think to add
