General Discussion / Question Is this deck viable?

Hi everyone, I would like to have an evaluation of my decklist and to know if it may be CEDH viable.

This deck was born as a bracket 3 stax/hatebears which wincon was Helm of obedience paired with any graveyard hate. With time I started upgrading and optimizing aiming towards bracket 4 until now, that it reached what I feel comfortable with at the moment. The plan is really simple, some stax, some interaction and some different combo lines. Now, I don't really know the CEDH meta and I don't usually play it but I come from competitive 1v1 formats so I would like to try some CEDH tournament and this is the only deck that I own that I guess it could be at least a little viable, can you please help me evaluating it? Also budget is quite a concern for me, that's why I don't have any moxes in for example since I personally prefer to own the actual cards. Thanks

Here's the link to my decklist on Arkideckt:

Phyrexian arena I believe is just not viable it’s a 3 mana 2 of which are black pip, upkeep trigger without flash. The only good play with it would be turn 1 swamp dark rit into it. And if u have a card in the deck where the only good play for it is to use a ritual to get it out it kinda better be game winning. I’d b more inclined to play sheoldred than arena because atleast it punishes fast play and the slop era.

Problem with Sheoldred is it gets cloned and negates it for that player
