If there was really no way to counter B.H., then I'd agree. As it is:
<card snip>
Bounty Hunter

Runner
who has just pulled out of a Shadowrun. X¥: Roll a D6. 1: Target evades
Bounty Hunter. 2-5: Target Runner is slain (Trash target Runner). 6: Bounty
Hunter is
killed (trash bounty hunter). X= Body of target Runner.Notes:

You've got a two in six chance to choke, one in six of that you're Bounty
Hunter will croak. Admittedly, that gives a person a good chance at losing
a runner, but Even Stevens and Elven Hitmen give returning Shadowrunners a
chance to protect themselves. Another good card, although I don't know if
it's worth using a rare for, would be State Of Confusion. Kill your
opponents' Shady Manager or Squatter. Bounty Hunters miss too....
