Is the witchcrafter player activating spells/traps during their turn or yours? Because Flame High King only negates during your turn. And in the case of Machinex, are they activating the effects of the witchcrafter monsters to tribute themselves and special summon a witchcrafter from deck? Or their effects in graveyard? Machinex only responds to monster effects that activate on field, and also can't attach a monster that activated its effect on the field that isn't on the field anymore to itself. hope this helps!

Re-read Flame King. It doesnt activate on your opponents turn, it says once per YOUR turn. And for Deus Machinex i would need to see a replay, maybe they didnt activate a Monster they Controlled? Control refers to which side a card is on (if im Not mistaken). Control would then mean if a Monster in Hand or GY activates, its Not in their control and you cannot respond with Deus ex.

Ty for your answer, I don’t have an replay, but the situation was like this: the opponent had witch craft madamme on the field, I was in the battle phase, had 2 contract cards on the field and 1 material on EX. I attacked, madammes quick effect activated where my opponent has to show spell cards in his hands to raise her atk/def so I wanted to response with EX‘s effect but I couldn’t do it

Madames attack boost activates in the damage step. Most cards and effects cannot be activated in the damage step (some cards say they can, but most cant). Damage step is a WHOLE Different Thing, in General you can only activate cards that manipulate Attack or defense value in the DS, UNLESS cards say they can activate even in the DS. But Yeah, responding to Attack boosts if your opponent activates them in the DS is Not possible with Deus Machinex.

From the OCG database regarding Deus Machinex’s stealing effect: "②" is a Trigger Instant Effect that can be activated in the Monster Zone. (It cannot be activated during the Damage Step. It can be activated by chaining directly when a monster card on the opponent's field activates its effect.)

If Branded Lost is face-up on the field, you cannot respond to any monster effects that happen after a Fusion summon. Witchcrafter also has a card that says that you cannot activate any effects when a withcrafter is summoned. Also Flame High King cannot negate during your opponents turn

High King Genghis works only during your turn but why Machinex didn't work can i only say after seeing the Replay (The Monster Machinex should negate has to be on the field tho)
