It's designed for the early game, but it's also perfect against X-spells or in a prison deck.
"That's great... and for just 1 mana more, you can keep it."

This is my favorite card of all time. Just watch the semifinal match between Antoine Ruel and Kenji Tsumura at PT LA 2005 to see magic at its best.

This won me a tourney, with a Chronatog/Stasis deck...final match he had one mountain untapped, said "I sideboarded a REB against you." I said, "fine, I'll skip my turns until you draw it." He drew to his second last card in library, cast it on my stasis - then I tapped my island and cast force spike. He was ***ed I didn't just show it to him. "It's the finals, need some drama." HA!

Considering that many players like to play all their spells as quickly as possible, this is often a {U} counter. Now that's awesome.

Nothing feels quite as good as seeing the look on your opponents face when they go to blow your head clean off with a giant comet storm or the like and you play the hilarious force spike.
Priceless.
When your opponent isn't following curve or X-ing out, it's less useful, but dropping four in a row on one spell gives a wonderous feel of achievment, card advantage be damned.
4/5

What's that? You want to play your 8/8 with trample by spending all of your mana? Well then, Force Spike.

Fun in the opening hand, semi useful later depending on what's going on, good Force of Will and Foil food.
