This Giant Ambush Beetle card could be beneficial in a deck focused on aggressive strategies or creature combat, particularly in a Jund (Black, Red, Green) deck that aims to pressure opponents quickly. While its ability to force a block can be situational, it can be useful for disrupting opponents' defenses or triggering effects that activate upon blocking. However, there may be more versatile or powerful cards available for similar mana costs, such as Questing Beast or Glorybringer, which offer additional abilities and impact on the battlefield that could make them more competitive choices in most scenarios. Overall, while Giant Ambush Beetle has its niche uses, it may not be a top-tier card for competitive play in most cases.

If you choose to have the targeted creature block but that creature isn’t able to block Giant Ambush Beetle (for example, because the targeted creature can block only creatures with flying), the requirement to block does nothing. The targeted creature is free to block whichever creature its controller chooses, or block no creatures at all.

You decide whether to have the targeted creature block Giant Ambush Beetle this turn if able at the time the enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, not at the time Giant Ambush Beetle attacks.
