Sandman's second ability applies only at the time blockers are declared. For example, if Sandman is blocked by a creature with 4 power, and then an effect gives that creature -3/-0, it won't stop blocking Sandman. - 2025-09-19 · Wizards of the Coast
Sandman's first ability works in all zones, not only the battlefield.
