Oh, and remember on cards such as Ranthor, saying "nonland" is one word without a hyphen
As for syntax and general build errors (considering that it looks like we're starting on those), here are some really minor modifications for some of your cards:
You might want to make Servant of the Gods a cleric. It isn't entirely needed, but I feel as though that name is a bit of a sign that it's meant to be one.
Sacred Pool is missing capitalisation after the tap symbol.
Tax Collector is missing name capitalisation in its first ability and has a slight text overflow on the last line.
Some of the cards (most notably Festival of the Sun and Inside Job) feel really empty as they have relatively small blocks of rules text. Maybe some flavour text?
All of this is really minor syntax stuff that doesn't matter to any major degree. It's mostly just me picking over tiny details.
Edit: I just checked. You are right, but then again that loop is easily broken. Not to mention the fact there was one intentional loop. I swear I won't use that though.
@Faiths_Guide, are there any last changes you want to make for your deck before it gets locked in?
@DoctorFro, remember to set the deck in for review as soon as you're done.
@ManaChrome, I haven't heard from you in a while, how is the deck coming?
@AxNoodle, how is your deck coming along?
@KJMartin, what have you done for your deck so far?
@KingWatherton, try to build your deck quickly, then send it into me for preliminary review.
True, but I am not going to have anything nearly a crazy as Ullamog in my deck.
@AxNoodle, @MemoryHead
I think I am going to ignore small syntax mistakes for now so I can focus on getting to my required 15 custom cards, and getting my decklist ready.
Does the deck itself need to contain 15 cutom cards, or is the commander included in that 15?

When Ash & Blaze, Reincarnated enters the battlefield, it deals 3 damage to any target.
Whenever Ash & Blaze Reincarnated attacks, it deals 3 damage to any target.

Ok... so, your draft is kind of broken and something of a color pie break.
Indestructible makes this card far too powerful, in that it is something they can't get rid of. This is especially true in the context that if your commander deals 21 damage to a player, that player loses. Hexproof is unnecessary if you give it indestructible, which as I said, you probably shouldn't.
But also, I would change the name. When legendary creatures have two names, it is typically because the card encompasses two characters. See Gisa & Geralf for an example. Why not come up with a name for your phoenix, because the way it sounds, it seems as though the name literally just means "Ash & Fire being Reincarnated" which doesn't seem right.
I know I just wrote quite a bit, but I hope that I wasn't sounding too critical. I like the premise, but the product needs a bit of polish.
