Does a golem's magic resistance counteract the part of the shatter spell which says a creature made of inorganic material has disadvantage on their saving throw?
Thank you in advance to anyone who can answer this question!
I would say in this instance, yes, the Disadvantage from Shatter would cancel out the Advantage from Magic Resistance. The creature would just get a straight roll.

A creature made of inorganic materials (such as the Stone Golem) is susceptible to Shatter's disadvantage on the saving throw. Having Magic Resistance gives that creature advantage versus spells, such as the aforementioned Shatter. The rule on Advantage and Disadvantage states that having both on a roll negates them and you roll a single d20.
Food for thought: how would you handle a Flesh Golem?

Flesh Golems are made of organic material. They would not suffer disadvantage on the saving throw.
