The numbers on an enhancement are not considered part of the character(s) they are played on. It would be a 2:3 guy plus the 1:3 enhancement not a 3:6 guy. In your example the 4:4 guy would still count as being *:4 or less even with the enhancement on him.

Thank you.

Don't mean to jump in here, but if it becomes a play by numbers game, are you all saying the "enhancement" numbers do not matter at that point?

For the purposes of battle resolution and determining initiative, all the numbers on both characters and enhancements are totaled (As long as nothing else is at work such as protection or ignore) and that is when the enhancement numbers matter. If a card refers to the numbers on a character (Such as "protected from characters with toughness */4 or less) enhancement numbers are not included when determining if the character in question counts as having toughness */4 or less, simply its current base stats.
