Mad Scientist 1BB
Creature – Human Alchemist (U)
T, Discard a card: Create a Food token if the discarded card was a creature card. Otherwise, create a Treasure token:
(Food is an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life." Treasure is an artifact with "T, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.")
Madness
BB (If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.)
2/2
I'm not sure if a Food or Treasure is worth a card. It also doesn't feel like an alchemist to me, more like a cook cooking creatures or a jeweler melting metals into golden treasure. I like that this is a madness enabler that has madness itself. My inner Mel is pleased.

Azorius-Orzov Bureaucrat WUB
Creature - Spirit Bureaucrat (Rare)
Spells cost
1 and 2 life more to cast.
"The two guilds collaborates in tandem to say to you this: no."
2/2
The first time I read it as if it were "less", it would be more intuitive but it would also be a completely different card. I don't like that this is symmetric, I would have liked it much more if it were "spells your opponents cast cost more", and it would have also been more intuitive in my opinion. Also, "Orzhov" is spelled wrong and the flavor text reads like that of a counterspell to me, which this card is not.

Fool's Lantern UB
Creature - Will-O'-The-Wisp Illusion(U)
Flying
Your opponent's must attack you or a planeswalker you control with at least one creature each turn if able.
Whenever Fool's Lantern blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, sacrifice Fool's Lantern and destroy each creature blocking or blocked by Fool's Lantern.
A light in the darkness doesn't always lead out.
0/1
I wonder if there is a reason why this is not just a 1/1 with deathtouch instead of the last ability. I don't see the practical difference between a 0/1 with "when this blocks or becomes blocked, destroy it and all creatures blocking it or blocked by it " and a 1/1 deathtouch. Yes, one is triggered ability that triggers in the declare blockers step and the other a static ability that works in the combat damage step, but that's just a technicality. The deathtouch version would have been much more elegant and intuitive in my opinion.

Acolyte of Anafenza 2W
Creature - Human Guardian (U)
Vigilance
W, T: Acolyte of Anafenza safeguards target non-Dragon creature.
(The next time damage would be dealt to that creature this turn, that damage is dealt to Acolyte of Anafenza instead.)
2/4
This card is fine and I like it, I just don't see the need to keyword this particular ability, it's not used often enough in my opinion. The reminder text could have just been the actual rules text.

Behemoth Wrangler 2RG
Creature - Elf Rider {R}
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may have target creature an opponent controls deals damage to Behemoth Wrangler equal to its power. Then if Behemoth Wrangler is still on the battlefield, gain control of that creature until end of turn, untap that creature, and it gains haste until end of turn.
3/4
Enrage meets
Act of Treason, only that the creature you steal has damage already marked on it, but if it gets more combat damage and dies in combat it's only good for you. I'm not a fan of Act of Treason effect, and that's to use a euphemism. I really dislike them, my opponent stealing my creature and attacking me with it enrages me if you excuse the pun. But that's just me.

Tricksy Brownie
Creature — Brownie (R)
If an opponent would tap an artifact for mana, that player adds one mana of any color chosen at random instead.
1/1
The smallest changes can wreak havoc.
I think this card should be red. It's true that not all random effects are automatically red, but this does feel red to me, also because its effects depends on what the opponent does. Also, this card feels narrow to me, what it essentially does is maybe change the color of mana to a color your opponent doesn't play, but then they can just use it as generic mana.

Wrecker Sloop 2R
Creature - Ship (Uncommon)
Islandwalk, haste
Wrecker Sloop can't attack unless you sacrifice an artifact.
Whenever a non-Treasure artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, create X Treasure tokens, where X is half that artifact's mana value, rounded up.
4/3
Today this would certainly be a Vehicle, but if it has to be a creature, that's fine. Landwalk is not currently supported, but it's really flavorful here, a ship moving freely on water. The easiest thing to do with the last ability is probably sacrificing Clue or Food tokens to get Treasures. Maybe it should say "whenever a nontoken non-Treasure artifact..."?
. Solid in a madness deck, but certainly not pushed -- neither a Food nor a Treasure is anywhere close to being worth a card, so you'd better be getting value from discarding cards for this to be even playable. Feels like a fun alchemist idea though, and definitely is better as an alchemist than any existing type.
