Everflame Master1RR
Creature — Human Shaman [R]
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, replace that spell's text with "This card deals 3 damage to target creature or player." "A wise man once passed on a spell to me that had nurtured his grove for centuries. It was in that moment I realized how malleable spells are and how foolish that man actually was."
3/1
IIW: Make me cringe
Doesn't work properly with spells that aren't already targeting a single creature or player.
fix'd it
You could have added "You may choose new targets for it" if you wanted to keep the "literally turns into lightning bolt" aspect, which was my favorite part of the card.

Riiight, so normally I'd just swallow my pride and move on, but I didn't receive a judging for the past two challenges, and you've given me no constructive feedback. So could I have like, an actual judging? Like why you think my card is too powerful? Or something besides two words?
Welcome to Club Flamingo! If you aren't familiar with the rules for gentlemen's clubs, open the spoiler right here. If you've posted in "the Winner is Judge" before, you'll be fine.
Use any criteria you want for the judging! It's up to you (and sometimes me)!
Feel free to use the main CCC section if you require more detailed critique of your design.
P.S. It wasn't too powerful.
Yes you aren't required by the contest rules to give actual feedback, but I am asking you for some, as a request, because I haven't received feedback in three rounds now and am seriously put out by it.

Tithe 1 (Any opponent may activate activated abilities of this card. Whenever an opponent does, you get a coin counter, then you gain 1 life for each coin counter on yourself.) 0: Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.

For example, if your opponent activates Demon three times, you'll gain 4 life the first time, then 8 more life on the next activation, then 12 more life on the third activation, so forth.

On that point, you'll get judgings from me eventually.
@TMCT: So, basically remove any true rules meaning? That's a... good idea. Hmmm... definitely... Could always have the flagbearer mechanic be attached to certain cards referring to marked anyways...

Splice only works with subtypes (for some reason). Usually one would just assume that all necessary rule changes are made to accommodate a custom design, but in the case of a pre-existing keyword like splice, R&D would probably sooner design a new keyword (a la intimidate). Or just make the design emulate splice without actually using a keyword, if it's only a one-off design and not a block mechanic.

Thanks to Overload, "splice onto instant or sorcery" is no longer a possibility. (I mean there are other problems, but that's the most obvious one according to Tabak)

"In the beginning, MTG Salvation switched to a new forum format.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.
