Question
Hey, i picked up a machine re-volt set and im polishing it up a tad. Was dueling
a friend and we kinda got stuck. I'm curious, say for example i had 1 face-up
ancient gear golem and a face down rare metalmorph. Opponent (in main phase 1) uses something
along the lines of brain control/enemy controller targeting my ancient gear golem would i be able to activate the rare
metalmorph and then also instantly use its effect to negate brain control or
not?

Thx in advance.

Answer
Yes, you can use Metalmorph's effect to negate Brain Control immediately.

This is because in a chain link, the first one to be resolved is the last card in the chain.

In this case, the 1st activation was Brain Control. Then, you chain by equipping Rare Metalmorph. The first that will resolve is the latest, so it's the metal morph. Then, Brain Control will resolve. However, since Rare Metalmorph is activated, you can choose its effect to negate the spell card that targetted the machine monster. In this case, it's your Ancient Gear Golem.
