Grappling Hook, Artifact — equipment, designed by Philip Straub first released in May, 2020 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
The Grappling Hook card would benefit a deck focused on aggressive strategies, particularly in a creature-heavy deck looking to deal damage quickly. While the double strike ability can be powerful, the restriction on forcing a creature to block may not always be advantageous. Other cards like Sword of Fire and Ice or Sword of Feast and Famine may offer more versatile and impactful abilities for a similar cost, making them potentially better options depending on the deck's strategy. Grappling Hook could see play in certain niche decks that can make use of its abilities effectively.

If you choose to have the targeted creature block the creature that was equipped with Grappling Hook, but it isn’t able to do so as blockers are declared (for example, because the attacking creature has flying and the targeted creature doesn’t), the requirement to block does nothing. The targeted creature is free to block whichever creature its controller chooses, or block no creatures at all.

If you control the triggered ability, you decide whether to have the targeted creature block the attacking creature at the time the ability resolves, not at the time blockers are declared.
