Can you exile in response to Madness in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, when a card with Madness is discarded and the Madness trigger goes on the stack, you've got a window to respond. This is because MTG uses a stack system for casting spells and activating abilities, allowing players to respond to almost anything, including Madness triggers. So, if you've got a spell or ability that can exile cards from a player's graveyard, you can totally use it in response to your opponent discarding a card with Madness, before they have the chance to cast it for its Madness cost.

Yep, you can. Madness lets players cast cards for a different cost when they're discarded. But there's a moment after the discard when the card is still in the graveyard, before the spell is cast. If you've got an instant-speed exile effect, you can use it then.
No way, that's not how it works. When a card is discarded and has Madness, it doesn't just sit in the graveyard waiting. It's a fast process, and thinking you can just exile in response every time is wishful thinking.
