Is the "Look at two cards..." effect on Way of the Scorpion dependent on targeting a personality with PH less than printed?
Card Title: Way of the Scorpion Text:If you are a Scorpion Clan player, this Strategy has Discipline 2G. Open, 1G : Target a Personality whose Personal Honor is less than printed. His controller loses Honor equal to the difference. Look at two cards in his hand or Provinces.
