wallisface-First and foremost my experience is commander not standard or legacy or modern or vintage nor sealed or draft just commander. So all these cards are built with commander in mind. So lets tackle each card one at a time.
Gods- All the god effects are based on their old cards and built upon and tweaked with some research done on their lore and made sure it fits in their color pie (since soo many people are anal about color breaking though i find it fun and interesting). So if you find it samey blame me for my lack of imagination but also some of Wizards for making the OG's that way as well
Iroas- You said his second ability is too much but is OG card protected from combat damage Iroas, God of Victory and slap on Tajic, Legion's Edge ability to protect against non combat damage and white has lots of cards that destroy tapped creatures or blocking/attacking creatures so i gave him a conditional removal sure you could put him a boros weenie deck and have continuous removal it basically X/1, X/2 or X/3 deathtouch for white but white has done similar thing like that though for equipment only but this is a god so yeah it ment to be powerful. Also he is at Mythic Rare meaning you except game winning/breaking effects and for modren/sealed playstyle 6 mana is along to invest if im told right unless you cheat it into play but not my area of expertise.
Shield and Spear- Just made to giving creatures Lifelink, ward 3 and Battlecry
Hakatos- For his for first abiliy this will cover all demi gods so let me explain (this also for you TypicalTimmy) Let do Dexos and Heilod as an example Daxos, Blessed by the Sun is a double white 2/* which by himself makes him a 2/2 and gives 2 devotion to Heilod all other demigods are the same in this way and gives you roughly half of the devotion needed to the gods into creatures with the gods them selves also giving 1 devotion to their own color giving you three meaning you only need 2 more to that god online. Since all the Muilticolored gods need 7 devotion insstead of 5 i gave all thier demigods 4 devotion (may cut that to three) leave 3 devotion and since each multi god gives two devotion that leaves only 1 needed to get them online, and since each mono colored demi had 2 devotion making them all 2/3 if or 2/2 by themselves if I did that with the multi colored ones as Timmy said that would make them all X/4's or 4/X's much to powerful for uncommons even if their legendary so i nerfed it in that you need one of each color pip to give them a boost to there X stat so if you just had 1 red AND 1 White on the field Hakatos's Power would be 1 and if had 1 Red AND 3 white is power would still be 1 but if had 5 red AND 5 white his power would be 5. It was a way to try and balance them out it maybe rough but i could work
No on to his second ability is play on OG card Haktos the Unscarred which also gives him protection from certain numbers this just makes so weak creatures can't chump block him it not broken or confusing to to keep track of he is fine once I find a way to smooth out the devotion thing.
Karmatra- Creatures are spells and they do ETB that how ETB effects trigger I honestly don't know what your talking about here. as for the mana cost i think 5 mana for whenever a non-token creatures ETB's you get to search for ANY land is fine 4 mana seems too cheap for repeatable effect hell 5 mana maybe too little.
Her Scythe- I admit may not be as flashy as others but neither is farm work lol but gains mana fixing and ramp but making all you creatures into a BOP, and you can you three of those creature to ramp even harder with it second effect can summon a 6 or higher drop buy turn 4 or 5 depending on your field and gains life to help get head or stabilize, it very powerful just not in the flashy immediate way which feels right for basically the god of agriculture's tool it not fast but be patient and you'll reap the benefits. Again it don't see much wrong with it.
Sythis- This one is the inspired but it's literaly just her OG card Sythis, Harvest's Hand without the card draw and with scrying instead and scrying is all color effect partically in theros where the mechanic was officially named and a bunch of cards from every color had it tacked on. So she every much fits into the GW pie
Ephara- She basically is a tweaked Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe which is fine bu ti do agree with the non land and caring about your opponent thing will fix that but i do want it a bit more unique than your standard tax card
Medomai- I assume other than the devoion power/toughness thing you dont have a problem with him
Kruphix- i can agree that cards for and indestruable card is powerful maybe busted but again he is mythic rare and a god those two things together you would expect some bust things about it BUT i can see spiraling way to out of control will think but nerfing the draw
Kydele- Her effect is for THE END OF THE TURN, Not the beginning and you than have a choice of untapping three land so you have access to outer spells or other creature protection on you opponents turn or having that card in hand that you've probly already scryed and want in your hand the flexability is what makes nice and you may not always want to draw in case you're milled out out lose life if you draw niche in the grand scheme of thing but a useful to have. i probaly will cut the adding a +1/+1 counter to creature though to much for an uncommon
Cymede- Fix her egregious spelling mistakes and just made scry 2 simple but decently powerful particularly when paired with her god
Atris- Fixed his until end of phase to end of turn but that's it. Thier are other cards that give sorceries flash like Hypersonic Dragon and Wizards of Thay give sorceries flash, Vedalken Orrery and Tidal Barracuda give all spells flash sorceries included. So it safe to say that sorceries can and do interact with flash even if it rare and it not even a pie break.
Mogis- Fix him it was always meant to be at the end of the turn not upkeep and tack only the current player's creatures I don't how those got past me. And made clear that it for each creature that didn't attack.
Rhordon- I assume other than the demigod clause your fine with him Axe- For the the self afflict dmage was decause rakdos has alot of power cards that deal damage to you, and i felt that as the god of slaughter's weapon it was fitting that it doesn't care about it summoner/owner but i will reworded so that the damage procs at the end of each other player's turn so it it works as intended
Pharika- Her frist ablity is fine it just a powerful Desecrated Tomb, Tormod, the Desecrator or Quintorius, Field Historian (and i say more powerful be cause of the poisonous 1) and they are powerful with Tormod's Crypt so I think it is fine is fine.
Her second effect is also mostly fine the card is fine if you 1 opponent and they have 5 posion counters on them you still only draw 1 card if have 7 opponent's and 3 have say 8 poison counters on them you will only draw 3 cards and while powerful is nothing in commander compared to some of the crazy card draws other even with out going infinite. fixed the left aspect of it though
Hythonia- Is just a Syr Konrad, the Grim with deathtouch and he is an instant win with graveyard exile and he also an uncommon and not even legendary! So no her effect if fine
Hope that answers your questions feel free to voice your thoughts again after reading this (IK it alot) i take all feed back and contine to scrutinize the rest of the cards

TheoryCrafter for the most part i agree and have cut most of what you suggested, however Selfless Spirit is a great board whip or spot removal savior that can keep coming back and Quintorius, Field Historian is gas since im hoping to reanimate lot (thus having cards leave the graveyard) will make a lot spirit tokens that become 4/2's which is not a small threat, Rotlung Reanimator and Xathrid Necromancer both make zombies and since many clerics are small they will die a lot of so i will have a good number of zombies and it can even be other cleric or human tokens that die/ are sacrificed to make the zombies. Drana is on the chopping block but i do want more reanimating stuff.

Your Commander deck has 122 cards. While I'm all in favor of using more than one strategy I don't think it would be a good idea to do much outside of Kaalia and clerics and still keep the deck legal. And there are cleric cards you can afford to cut due to redundancy.
Cards for my recommendation to cut: Ancestor's Prophet, Bishop of Rebirth, Death-Priest of Myrkul, Drana, the Last Bloodchief, Ethereal Absolution, Master Apothecary, Quintorius, Field Historian, Rotlung Reanimator, Selfless Spirit and Xathrid Necromancer.
With these cuts you'll be about halfway there. Then it depends on which strategy or two you want to prioritize. You may end up cutting so many cards from your deck you can add a few from your sideboard and maybeboard that will synergies with your deck.
I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Hey, so, I didn't see it in your deck list, and no one else suggested it, so here it is.
Literally from the same set as Quintorius, Field Historian

Milana, Prelate of Tithes
Legendary Creature - Vampire Advisor (Uncommon)
Whenever an opponent sacrifices a permanent, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
2/3
I'd like to see a signpost uncommon legendary creature. In this set, if this were a signpost uncommon, would be about having your opponents sacrifice things, and this would create be a decent pay off for it.
Signpost uncommons provide a payoff, or are an enabler for a (two-color) limited archetype.
Strixhaven did it with Dina, Soul Steeper, Killian, Ink Duelist, Quintorius, Field Historian, Rootha, Mercurial Artist, and Zimone, Quandrix Prodigy, for reference.

Taken from Epicurus, post #9 on this page.
Legendary Creature - Dryad Druid
Lifelink, Wither
Whenever a basic land enters the battlefield under your control, you may have it enter tapped. If you do, create a Herb token.
Dina, Lifecycle Mother gets +1/+1 for each Herb you control.
The same flower that can revive a deer can also fell a nation. Knowing how to use it isn't the trick, it's when.
2/2
So, unless I am remembering wrong, Strixhaven was a college for Planeswalkers. The Deans or someone there would find beings whose sparks have not-yet ignited and would bring them and admit them into Strixhaven.
If that is true, take one if the five college students we got and if ignite their sparks. Those cards are, for reference:

And in the line of clerics, I've been enjoying this line of synergy on MTGArena if you'd care to look into it yourself:
Pyre of Heroes Righteous Valkyrie Orah, Skyclave Hierophant Hofri Ghostforge Quintorius, Field Historian
Combine those with any number of value clerics with lower CMC and you've got a nasty brew. I'm currently pushing Diamond Tier 4 with it in Standard.
Whether you're interested in it or not I figured you would enjoy the flavor/synergy. Cheers!

Are you choosing to not include Quintorius, Field Historian ? Would create an additional Spirit token each time you sacrifice a creature or use a recursion spell.
