On the other hand, bad card draw is devastating to the ultimate outcome. I don't think it's the focus that makes a scum Hunter list dangerous, its the ridiculous burst damage potential achievable by stacking those command cards everyone hates (or loves if you're playing a Hunter list).
If the goal is to rebalance hunters (and I don't think that much rebalancing needs to be done) I think the best way is through command card restrictions.
Which still doesn't mean the overabundance of the elements of the RCP in scum isn't something that shouldn't be addressed. I'm of the opinion that scum centric alternatives that fill a similar role is the answer to that particular riddle.
Edit: Also, I'm all about that Jabba life, so I'm 100% on board with him being part of the support figures scum uses.
I think a lot of fixes could be handled via command cards. I find these sweeping cost reductions problematic, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.
