The original version of this mechanic just put the Madness card onto the battlefield, but I was concerned about targeting. I'm hoping that I don't need to worry about cheating mana costs, since the Madness cards are generally pretty reactive, and encourage you to include a bunch in your deck. The strongest one in a vacuum is the legendary creature, but that really wants you to run a lot of other Madness cards, which dilutes the pool.
Derange is a keyword action. You're correct there should be a period after it (although that breaks the automatic reminder text). A keyword action by itself on a sorcery is fine, since it just happens as part of the spell's resolution.
Constellation isn't really a theme, but one or two cards could have. Derange wants you to play a bunch of enchantments, so some things that trigger off constellation or aura-fall are useful
Phantasmal Forces.
In the alternate universe where enchantment creatures always have been as common as artifact creatures, Illusion would have been always an enchantment creature type.
But in the alternate universe where enchantments as often as possible would have gotten their own subtypes, Illusion would have been an enchantment type.
I take it pseudo-constellation is a Madness-theme.
Love the cardname for a creature with that type line.
Do you intend derange to be a keyword action? In that case it is supposed to be part of a sentence an you are missing a period.
If you want it to be a keyword ability, then the reminder text is missing a timing clause/trigger (e. g. "When you cast this spell").
When I decided to come up with new subtypes for all card types I chose Insanity over Madness to avoid confusion with the existng keyword ability.
The issue with derange is that you don't have a mana value restriction, so now your madness cards are developmentally quiet impaired since they have to be balanced around the cheapest/most efficient card with derange you design - and vice versa your derange cards have to consider the most expensive effect of a Madness card.
You could just put the Madness card into your hand. That way mana cost matters again. Alternatively I recently mused on creating a version of cascade called <type> cascade; and I think, Madness cascade/Insanity cascade is actually quite an evocative keyword to put onto your card.
