I don't think their roles are entirely similar. Arcane blast is more of a removal card. Paired with Spellpower it is a 1 mana 4 damage can give you a huge tempo swing. Arcane Blast gives you a bit more control. If you need a 2 health minion gone, its done you don't have to take chances with RNG. That being said I think Arcane Missile has its place its a great fodder for Waker. Its more of a combo/damage card you can't really treat it as removal if there are several of minions on board. Arcane Missles is a situational removal and should not be used carelessly. Even with high likelyness to hit your target minion there's still a chance that it will miss.
