IMO: Force Spike > Mental Misstep.
Most decks only run one-drops for aggro and curve considerations. Force Spike either forces your opponent to leave one extra mana open or get hard-countered, which means their tempo and curve is basically one whole land-drop behind. Mental Misstep might hard counter the first 1-mana drop, but after saving you that 2 or 3 extra damage, you'll still have to face down this 2,3, and 4 drop. Mid-game when is when mana becomes tight for stompy aggro decks, and Force Spike pretty much acts as a hard counter if your opponents ramp is fine-tuned to be as efficient as possible. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Force Spike still has a bit of value later in the game because it makes your opponent play with one-mana open and keeps them from tapping out for their finishers. And all of this is assuming your opponent knows you have a force spike in hand. If they don't and try to tap out, well then you just gained CA by hard countering for ... (see all)

A solid card, sometimes tricky to use.
