It's the same reason why snake trap sucks. It triggers too slowly, and even when it does, the result is underwhelming.

[QUOTE=x]FoRsaKeN[x,Oct 2 2015 04:20pm]It's almost always dealt with on their terms. Once they realize it's not freezing/snake, which is usually the first to expect/check for, it's so easily played around.

I feel like the 3x 1-1's from snake trap provide the same synergy (if not better) for beasts and bow. It can often be bluffed as a freezing trap and used with juggler to force them to make much worse plays than falling for a bear trap would.[/QUOTE]

I actually run both Bear and Snake trap and it forces some pretty bad plays out and is generally awkward to deal with. Combine it with cards that synergize with Beasts and it works well.
