Answer

Ruling: Yes, Brynhir's ability will resolve first and prevent the opponent from playing the unit from Spectral Matron's ability.

Sequence:

  • Opponent plays Spectral Matron, its ability triggers and goes on the chain
  • You play Here to Help (must be played face down so it has reaction)
  • You play Brynhir Thunderson off Here to Help
  • Brynhir's "while you play me" ability goes on the chain and resolves first
  • Spectral Matron's ability is still on the chain but cannot resolve because the opponent cannot play cards

Nuances:

  • Here to Help must be played from face down to have reaction timing
