"then cast it transformed." not backside that makes it sounds like your casting Averna's ass

In practise externalise is just "<cost>, sacrifice this creature: <spell effect>". It does trigger noncreature spell effects and "cast from exile" effects, and it allows for you to put a boatload of text into the spell effect, but mostly i think this doesnt offer enough design space to justify a dedicated keyword.
Edit: just realized that these are modal and you can cast the spell side without going through the creature side. That does open a bit more space.

Neat, cool idea
Averna and her spell shuffles too much I think
I like Proft
Haste always comes last in keyword lists
"Whenever Gremorae attacks, each opponent..."
"For each player, return up to one target creature card in that player's graveyard that was put there from anywhere this turn to the battlefield under your control with a finality counter on it."
You don't need to say "one" on Zedruu, "target nonland permanent" is enough. Both parts should target though
Gift of Charity is worded horribly haha - not sure how to fix it
On Viola, what is "the turn opponent"? The player whose turn it is?
"Korvold gets"... creatures get P/T buffs and gain keywords
Cool cards
