Spellblade is tricky on Yasuo. Steel Tempest will apply it (just like Ezreal's Q), but only to the first thing hit; if you try to Q through minions, you may end up wasting the bonus damage. It's therefore more reliable in lane to trigger Spellblade with your E, then deliver it with a direct auto before using Q.
