In this example, you will control a faceup "Chaos Zealot" and your opponet controls a faceup "Speed Bandits".
You have two cards in your hand... "DNA Enhancer" and "Fireball".
NOTE: This topic was made before I changed Fireball's effect, so ignore the fact that Chaos Zealot cannot cast Fireball for now.If you attack Speed Bandits, the attack can be negated by paying 4 SPD; therefore, you can only destroy Speed Bandits with a spell.
Chaos Zealot has
3/3 INT... if he pays 3 INT (becoming 0/3) to activate Fireball, you can destroy Speed Bandits instantly, without worrying about attacking them.
If you activate DNA Enchancer and select SPD, Chaos Zealot's stats will become
HP: 3/4 PWR: 3/4 INT: 2/3 SPD: 5/6. Now, if Chaos Zealot attack Speed Bandits, Speed Bandits won't have enough SPD to negate the attack.
