Please help
Well my list did cost me around 430€ which isn't that much for modern deck.
You can drop the price by dropping cards that aren't the most important but costs above average like Keranos, God of Storms, maybe even one Voice of Resurgence can go if budget is problem. I have seen lot of people playing Coiling Oracle, even tough i don't like the card really you could play it in place of cut cards. Feel free to add me in chat if you need more help.

Thank you to everybody that helped me out here, and I’d like to personally respond to you all.
Stormforge_Mystic your deck was actually the one that inspired me to play this deck in Modern. I’m a Pauper player but I want to have one Modern deck to play for tournaments and with friends. Your deck is awesome!
xaerusblade The lands are usually the more expensive parts of modern decks so your information was very helpful.
Pieguy396 Thank you for that link, nice deck!
And lastly, ToolmasterOfBrainerd, thanks for providing those land alternatives. That was really helpful. And you’re right, the core parts of the deck aren’t that expensive so it’s not too bad. Thanks!

Four color and budget don't mix well. Lands are expensive.
Unfortunately, goodstuff in general is expensive because the goodstuff cards are, well, good, so there's a lot of demand for them; hence, they tend to be expensive. Stuff like Snapcaster Mage and Tarmogoyf.
If this is the style of deck you mean then the situation isn't too dire. The core cards (felidar, Saheeli, evolution) aren't absurdly expensive.
It's still a tier 3 deck, but if this tier 3 deck makes you happy then you should still be able to 2-2 or 3-1 semi-competitive FNM, provided you're at least an okay player.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to make 4 color work on a budget. What about playing Kiki-Chord instead? Very similar style, but you can get away with a budget mana base. Replace the Noble Hierarchs with, say, Avacyn's Pilgrim, or some other dork.
Razorverge Thicket and Copperline Gorge are cheaper than fetches and shocks. A combination of basics and Sunpetal Grove and Rootbound Crag would be a little cheaper but less consistent. Karplusan Forest and Brushland are also options, but painful.
I think you could build a budget version for $300 without too many sacrifices. The mana would be shakey, but that's something you can upgrade over time.
