Sinister Motives, Miles, and Gwen: If I am playing 2-player against Sandman and I am attacked, but my partner defends the attack, does Sandm

Question

If I am playing 2-player against Sandman and I am attacked, but my partner defends the attack, does Sandman still deal indirect damage, and should Surging Sands be resolved if their identity takes damage?

Answer

The “you” and “your identity” in Sandman I’s ability refers to the original player he was activating against. Should your partner defend for you, then “your identity” would not take damage, and you would not resolve “Surging Sands.”
