Hello,
1. I play Doomed Intentions targetting my Daigotsu Shiraki. 2. Shiraki moves. 3. Now I must take an action printed on Shiraki.
If I have a Dark Virtue in my hand, must I show it, and perform a ranged attack? If I do not have a Dark Virtue in my hand, must I prove this somehow to my opponent? If so, how?
thanks, Andrew

If are able to use the Battle action on Shiraki, you must.
If you have no Dark Virtues and you say you do not, your opponent may ask a judge to confirm this.
If you have no Dark Virtues in your hand, Shiraki's Battle Action may not be taken (inability to pay costs).
