wotc1 Sept 2023
Shadow Puppeteers's last ability overwrites any previous effects that set the creature's power and/or toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after Shadow Puppeteers's last ability resolves will overwrite this effect.
wotc1 Sept 2023
Effects that modify a creature's power and/or toughness, such as the one created by Squeak By or a +1/+1 counter, will apply to the creature no matter when they started to take effect.
wotc1 Sept 2023
If the creature stops being a creature before Shadow Puppeteers's last ability resolves, it will become red until end of turn in addition to its other colors. Since it's not a creature, it won't gain the Dragon subtype, and it won't have base power and toughness 4/4.
wotc1 Sept 2023
Shadow Puppeteers's last ability doesn't remove any abilities the creature has.
wotc1 Sept 2023
If the creature loses flying before Shadow Puppeteers's last ability resolves, the creature will still become a red Dragon with base power and toughness 4/4 in addition to its other colors and types until end of turn. It won't gain flying.
