Normal Spell Card countering

I'm a bit confused about how to use this card after some people tried to tell me I can't block cards like "Brain Control" with this card. So if you have a set "Mystical Space Typhoon" on your field and your opponent activates a normal spell card in their turn, can I use this card to destroy my opponent's activated card or not? I mean this card is a Quick Play Spell so it should be able to block a card like "Brain Control" with "Mystical Space Typhoon" since its effect says I can target a trap or spell on the field and destroy it. If my thought it wrong then it would be nice if anybody could tell me why it should not be possible to use "Mystical Space Typhoon" to stop a card effect like "Brain Control".

It can be used to destroy cards in scenarios like that, but cards like "Brain Control" do not need to stay on the field for their effects to resolve. You need something like "Magic Jammer" whose effect says that it negates the other card. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:13, December 23, 2017 (UTC)

Like Deltaneos said, this card only destroys its target; it doesn't negate its effects. But this card can be used to destroy Field, Equip, Pendulum and Continuous Spell Cards, as well as Continuous and Equip-like Trap Cards when they are activated or when they are already face-up and activate a secondary effect; those kinds of Spell/Trap Cards must remain face-up in order to resolve their effects, so chaining this card to them will kinda ""negate"" their effects.
