Forum:Lava Golem + Enemy Controller

This situation arose recently, and I'm wondering what the ruling would be on this; we did not ask at the time because I didn't care to get up and ask.

Let's say that my opponent has two monsters on the field and I have one monster on the field and Lava Golem in my hand. Lava Golem's effect says for me to tribute two monsters my opponent controls to special summon it to their side of the field. When I declared that I was doing this, my opponent chained with enemy controller, sacrificing one of their two monsters and taking control of my monster so that it would be sacrificed instead.

The way Lava Golem is worded, the sacrifices sound like a cost, even though they're on my opponent's field. So.. my question is pretty much: Does this really work?

Either way, I summoned Lava Golem to his field, so he should have waited and used it for Enemy Controller, anway. :P
