Way of the Scorpion Open, 1GC: 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.
When I play Way of the Scorpion to look at cards in my opponent's hand, do I choose which cards, does he show me two cards he's okay with showing me, or are they selected at random?

Since the cards are facedown, you choose them, but without being able to look at them first.
