Chaos magic is a format that leaves much up to interpetion on how you want to play, but the basic idea is that a new phase is added to the game-the chaos phase-which occurs before each players untap step.  during that phase the player whos turn it is draws a card from deck in the center of the table, and plays that card, however that card does not funtion as a normal card

1)  You have to play the chaos card,  is played without paying its mana cost, it doesn't count as a spell played

2) if it is a permanet it remains in play until your next chaos card  that is a permanent replaces it

3) if it is a socery or instant it ignores any timing restrictions, and "you"s on the card refer to you, nor  does not target even if it says so- ie doomblade can kill emrukel

4) No one receives priority during the chaos phase so whatever is played can't be responded to

that is the general idea, but like I said in the beginning, it is open to interpation since there are no set rules,  for example I once played a game where instead of a deck in the center containing a bunch of cards, we had 5- Beacon of immortality, plague wind, thieves auction, living death, balance-each was given a number 1-5 and during the chaos phase we rolled a 6 sided die to determine what card took effect, 6 being nothing happend  that was a fun game though really long

tooth and nail is a crazy card... use it on chaos magic and well, it's more than chaotic... it's pandemonium...

i actually have most of the rules for a chaos game on my computer.  we used to have an old list, and it was getting pretty worn out, so around Zendikar i made a new list, using the old one, and modifying it a bit to adapt to the newer cards/abilities.  ill try to post it all in a new topic for you

in a normal game of magic there are 5 phases beginning phase, main phase, combat phase, 2nd main, end phase.  in Chaos there is another add before the beginning phase, so it would go --draw/play the chaos card, untap, upkeep, draw, etc....

chaos card is the term used for the card drawn from the center pile during the chaos phase (see my post above for more about it)

i dunno bout Chaos Cards, but in the Chaos variant i play, we used Dice and this MASSIVE list (that was the original format of chaos, so i dunno bout any new ones)

i submitted links to download the list for everyone.

its all on this post:
http://www.mtgcombos.com/view.php?fid=1&tid=23687

a few things about the rules that need to be clarified:

When you start a game of Chaos Magic, one person (usually the starting player) rolls on the EnchantWorldLand list, and that roll is in effect till it is destroyed, replaced, etc.

then as a new phase to each players turn, before they untap, upkeep, draw (beginning phase), they have the chaos phase, where they roll on the Chaos list, and perform the action found there.

have fun.
