This was a real card that was tested by R&D, circa 1997.
Which means it was the one Tutor NOT released with Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, and Worldly Tutor in Mirage, and (obviously) didn't make it with the follow up set, Visions, which did have Vampiric Tutor.

Thoughts/Discuss
Do you have a link to the mothership or anywhere else on this? Searching for Chaos Tutor returns this thread as the only result that is MTG related. And "Discard the top card of your library" is really badly worded, even during Mirage Wizards knew what discard is and it never referred to the library.

I did a deeper search and got zip as well. ""Chaos Tutor" mtg" only got four pages of results, zero relevant pages besides this one.
It's possible the OP got it from an old magazine as well. The wording on the card bothers me though, as it is similar to how you would word an older yugioh card.

Only the person out of right mind can use this without it. Also not good at searching combo pieces unless they are of common type (not artifacts/enchantments, also problems with creatures-in-a-deck-with-cantrips).
Actually, I have.. seen, first hand, the actual playtest card WoTC used, complete with v1.0 WOTC 1997 on the bottom of the white sticker that was used to adhere to a basic land, which was the playtest card, and that was the verbatim wording.
I also tried to search for Chaos Tutor before even posting this thread.
I think it would be really good, personally. Even if it were a land, there would be several ways to abuse that card.
Its an interesting concept for a card that I actually think could be pretty good, though I dont think it would have been back then.
Really though I dont see the point of this thread though. If you had a picture or some kind of reference it would at least be an interesting historical oddity. Otherwise its just pointless conjecture.

"top card of library" is about the only similarity. Also I highly doubt R&D took 15 years to polish it and release it as a Simic card.
They both essentially give you a random card? one puts it into play and the alleged chaos tutor puts it in your hand, but the effect is very similar. Am I saying that R&D worked for years to turn one into the other? of course not. But as a concept the theme is there.
I also, to show I am not making this up, included a picture of another card, which actually DID make it to print, in Tempest, which was released in October, 1997...following Mirage, Visions, & Weatherlight.
Of the changes made from this test card to release.. I see at first glance is, obviously the name, and appears it also used to cost 2W
No insight into what the 'MC' means... other than.... Magic Card? But that would be stupid if that is what it stood for...or, too easy rather? Redundant?

One requires you to mill one and put a similar type on the top of your library. The other lets you free cast the top card if its nonland and return the spell to your hand. 1 cost R the other is 2UG.. I see 2 completely different cards
Exactly - and compared to the other Tutors released, in Mirage, then Vampiric Tutor, in Visions, they all follow the same style of putting the chosen card on top of your library.
It is also the only color to not get a Tutor from that block. This is the missing Tutor. I think it's cool. That's legit right there.

It does have mad red flavor, but making it that narrow makes it leagues worse than the other tutors.
