Can you cast a sorcery with madness at instant speed?
Yes, it does. It replaces the act of discarding the card to removing it from the game and allowing you to cast it for the madness cost. If it didn’t let you cast it at “instant speed” you would never be able to cast it because it tells you to cast the card in the middle of the Madness trigger.
Are activated abilities at instant speed?
Activated abilities that read “Activate this ability only any time you could cast an instant” mean the player must follow the timing rules for casting an instant spell, though the ability isn’t actually an instant. The player doesn’t actually need to have an instant card that he or she could cast.
Can Sunforger cast Sorceries at instant speed?
If it does not say ‘use at Sorcery speed’ then it can be used at Instant speed. This is true as long as people understand the original wording of things. For instance, someone who has a newer equipment card won’t know that you equip only as a sorcery since only old ones spell that out.
Can I play a sorcery in response to an instant on my turn?

Can madness be countered?
Madness works no matter when or why you’re discarding the card. After that, playing a card with madness is just like playing an instant from your hand, except you pay the spell’s madness cost instead of its mana cost. It goes on the stack like any other spell and it can be countered like any other spell.
Can you activate Sunforger at instant speed?

You can’t counter Sunforger’s fetch ability with Convolute (though, you can slyly try to fit Squelch into a block limited match and get dq’d for running a stupid card that you obviously couldn’t have drafted).

If I cast a sorcery spell to force the opponent to discard two cards, and he/she then casts one of those cards as an instant, would the instant apply first or would the sorcery take precedence?
