I was just wondering; if you use Puppet Master on a Wave Serpent and fire it's shields, does it's serpent shields defensive capabilities deactivate during that player turn?

Therefore could you Puppet Master it and then blow it up easier in the same turn?

Id say yes as its deactivated untill its following turn

Don't know the exact wording on puppet master but the serpent shield says "in its shooting phase, the wave serpent..." so for RAW i would have to look at the puppet master power, but as HIWPI I wouldn't care, especially because I believe that RAW and HIWPI, if i fired the shield in my shooting phase, which i do all the time. they couldn't shoot it with puppet master, and I have already lost the defense ability
