So, I'm going to try and make a set based around dragons and I've made some and I'd like to know if they're too powerful or not powerful enough etc.

Not to mention the lore-stretching involved in the Ravnica theme.
I think you're focused too much on making powerful cards and not enough on design and balance.

The mono blue one is a 4/4 flying, hexproof Force Spike that exiles spells - by far the best of the bunch. Also, the flying hexproof one-sided Heartbeat of Spring with extra scrying attached is quite good - if you untap with it, you will generally win.
Overall, these are not what I would call good cards, but dragons with keywords and not much else. A couple that I mentioned stand out, but otherwise nothing really inspiring me here to want to play with these.
Focus on designs that have not been explored to generate interest. I just thought of a 4 mana 7/7 flying, trample dragon that deals 6 damage to itself when it attacks. Powerful, but risky to use. It can be a Red/White one and also have XX: Prevent X damage that would be dealt to target creature or player. This is an example something that has not really been explored and that is interesting to see, from a design standpoint

Hallowed intall should be called "unhallowed intall," in my mind, because white is the color of holiness, while black is the color of unholiness.

Apart from the mono-green, mono white and Carus i reckon they are all pretty under-costed for the keywords, static and triggered abilities that they have.
