I need to find out if someone activates a Chaos Orb can you disenchant it
before they flip it? I need it for an official ruling, so I would like a
response from Tom Wylie!

Thanks!

Nope. The Orb sacrifices itself as part of its cost. Thus it's not *there*
in play for Disenchant to hit any time after the effect is declared. (See
the Goblin Grenade thread.) You can Rust or use Ayesha Tanaka on the *effect*
of the Orb; nothing else can stop it once it's been powered up.

Completely off-topic from this question, but something I'm curious
about -- opponent fires off Orb, you catch it and throw it back on his
cards. Aside from the risk of bruises and a black eye, is this
legal? It's clearly non-sporting, but so is playing a black/artifact
deck with Guardian Beasts against an RV deck...

You can't physically manipulate the flipping of the card. No...you can't
tickle the thrower either.
