Gotta go with lobster, even if the situation arises often, it's still only situationally powerful.

And situationally horrible. I've traded a bird token for this once, that felt pretty sweet.

Your opponent must have obviously really benefitted from that plus 1 plus 1 or else I'm not sure how this could happen. I mean, every card can situationally suck, but this guy has never been bad for me.

There are uncommons I'd choose over it on rare occasion, but this seems to be a generally undervalued card, considering how late a pick I've seen it as. A bit of scavenge or even the luck to have a Giant Growth and this will allow you to cut a game very short.... but it's the only 'bomb' I've played that has been taken out by things like Abrupt Decay and even been countered with  Downsize . It's frustrating when you can't get it to work...or you take the time out to MAKE it to work and are then stopped by something simple like a  Blustersquall or a  Druid's Deliverance .... or in response to your pump, a Street Spasm . 

But it makes up for its vulnerability as a bomb goes with its cheap, easy to splash cost. 

Blustersquall can't stop this really. You say "Declare attack phase" if he passes priority then creature will next attack. He can't then use blustersquall effectively against this card. Remember you don;t have to pump until responding to Beastmaster's trigger which doesn't take effect until after declare attackers. Of course it can be stopped, but it's usually a mid pick so no real harm done if he's shut down. But more often than not, he's a big target and he creates huge wins out of nowhere.
