A real spy and informant for MTG enabling you to always be a few step ahead of your opponents and favorite of mine
One of my favorite custom cards I've ever made it just super fun to play with IRL
A ultra powerful (but hopefully not broken) 5 color angel commander that I feel would be useable (at least in commander not sure of other formats maybe modern or legacy reanimate?)
A (I hope) powerful spin on Vehicles that doesn't require power but souls (creatures) to fuel it
Cause why be happy

Hmm...
When I copied it, there was a space between the [] and the ().
Try it again, without the space.
Don't worry about a double post with the image. Gotta learn somehow ^_^
Oh, did you ever have links enabled? A mod / admin / the owner can do that for you

These are some really unique and interesting designs! Do you mind if I give some feedback? I don't want to dig into any design theory unless you want me to, I always want to help but don't want to come off as picky because I really like them as is but I know there's always room for improvement :3

TheOfficialCreator was wondering if you were still interested in giving your feedback on these?

Stardragon yes, sorry! I got sidetracked. I will likely get to it tomorrow during lunch if that's okay, I'm currently busy researching colleges ^^"

Okay, got to it!
King of Whispers is incredibly underpowered in my opinion, you could easily make it more powerful and more concise by adding just a few words to it.
As printed, you get to see their hand by revealing your own, which almost seems like a completely symmetrical effect that wouldn't need to add any additional cost or rarity to the creature. Seeing an opponent's hand isn't that great of a benefit in most scenarios, which is why it's so easy to get with Glasses of Urza.
Getting to see the top few cards of their library whenever it deals combat damage to a player is a slightly better effect, because of top-deck control decks, but those decks already have a lot of much cheaper cards that don't rely on combat damage to get that effect (Lantern of Insight and Wizened Snitches comes to mind), and since King of Whispers can't mess with the order or existence of those cards in any way, it doesn't hold its own in most gameplans. Plus, it very likely won't get damage through because its power is too high to efficiently use skulk (at least in my opinion).
It's still a good design, but it's missing a few words that would really tie together the Dimir design with it.
You could make the combat damage ability "Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, fateseal 2." This would give virtually the same effect, but allow you to control what your opponent has on top of their library.
Additionally, you could add the following sentence to the second text-line: "You may choose a nonland card revealed this way. That player discards that card."
Devil's Hand is a good design. I don't know that I agree with the idea of you losing life equal to the discarded creature or artifact's converted mana cost, but I suppose it fits with the idea of being potentially unlucky.
The syntax is off, but that's fine. Everyone knows what the card does as it is. The only other thing I'd say is that the generic comes first, and then the black, and then the red.
Seraphim of Destiny is nice. That's all I have to say.
But I think out of all the designs so far that Seraphim has to be my favorite. I don't personally see the green or blue in it, but that's fine; a lot of WUBRG cards are like that. I'd say this would be a banger at a mid-power casual table.
Hell's Galleon as printed can't get soul counters from the creatures it sacrifices, but the way you intended the design to work is splendid. It's a great idea. I do think you could make it a spirit for every one soul counter removed instead of two, though.
I love Deep Depression. The only issue I have with it is that the hybrid Dimir mana should be in between the blue and the black.
Crippling Debt is really well-designed. I think it could be changed to Treasure and only hit permanent spells, though. I can't really think of Orzhov gaining control of spells.
All said and done, they're really unique and interesting designs! I'd love playing with these cards in a standard game of Commander. And don't worry about the syntax: it's something you pick up on as you make more and more custom cards.

For King of Whispers- I didn't know about fateseal that was what im looking for for him but I thought the effect of scrying your opponents library may have been too powerful but if WotC made the ability I'll be putting it in
For Devil's I can reword to be read better but I don't want to change the effects I love it the way it is
Archangel of Destiny glad you like it if Maelstrom Archangel was legendary we wouldn't need a custom 5 color angel commander
Hells Gallon- I wanted it to gain soul counters when you sacrified creatures to crew but didn't know how to word so it happened and I put as 2 soul counter for 1 spirit to help curb it in token sac decks
Glad you like deep depression
I guess your right Orzhov wouldn't seal instants or sorceries and I could make it treasure but we so many treasure makers now a days but I does for orhov better
