Question

I have a question about “After the villain attacks you”, which has always been a little unclear. My understanding is that Responses to “after X attacks you” generally trigger on allies defending, because attacks are always directed at a player (i.e. Ultron I’s response, Radiation Man’s response, etc). Does this also apply to Drax’s card “Payback”? Can I play Payback after an ally defends for me? Or does it using “your ATK” somehow make the first “you” only apply to the identity?

Answer

In short, yes; Drax can play Payback even after he used an ally to defend an attack against him.
