Let me use a specific example and see if that makes it clear.
Look at Bulletproof (it's pictured in the rulebook if you want to find it faster). If anyone plays an Attack card, I could pull Bulletproof out of my hand to avoid the Attack. Bulletproof gets discarded but it says that I get to draw a card and destroy a card in my discard pile if I like. The +2 Power is irrelevant.
However, if it comes around to my turn and I haven't used Bulletproof to defend myself, I can simply play it for +2 Power and ignore the Defense section.
