Alms of the Vein, Sorcery, designed by David Gaillet first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadows over Innistrad and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Pauper.
Alms of the Vein would be beneficial in a black aggro or burn deck looking to drain the opponent's life total while gaining life for yourself. However, there are potentially better options like Lightning Bolt or Bump in the Night that offer more immediate and efficient damage output. Alms of the Vein could see play in specific deck archetypes that focus on life gain and incremental damage, but it may not be a top-tier choice in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.

Cards are discarded in a Magic game only from a player’s hand. Effects that put cards from a player’s library into that player’s graveyard do not cause those cards to be discarded.

Casting a spell for its madness cost doesn’t change its mana cost or its converted mana cost. You just pay the madness cost instead.

If you choose not to cast a card with madness when the madness triggered ability resolves, it’s put into your graveyard. You don’t get another chance to cast it later.

If you discard a card with madness while resolving a spell or ability, it moves immediately to exile. Continue resolving that spell or ability—the card is not in your graveyard at this time. Its madness trigger will be placed onto the stack once that spell or ability has completely resolved.

Madness works independently of why you’re discarding the card. You could discard it to pay a cost, because a spell or ability tells you to, or even because you have too many cards in your hand at the end of your turn. You can’t discard a card with madness just because you want to, though.
