Oh, say it ain't so!!! In the words of one of my favorite people, Jimmy Valvano, "Don't Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up!"
If you draw Hummerhorns early in the game, your threat should be low enough such that it will not engage you (thus, no 5 damage). Then you have time to prepare for the engagement... or to avoid it altogether. Remember, this is a deck building game. If your deck isn't able to deal with it, redesign your deck... tweak it, add cards, remove cards, or trash your deck and start over. Look at decks others on BGG have made and try those. Hummerhorns is a deadly card, but it's not necessarily a death sentence.
