TFs Q is almost exactly the range of a nidalee spear and can hit multiple units rather than just one, which makes his laning phase actually pretty good. Furthermore, unlike many other spammy mages, he has virtually no mana problems due to his blue card refunding a large amount of mana whenever used. In lane he can just take down the back minions with a quick Q + red card combo, and after level 9 he can pretty much take them down with just a Q. His poke is one of the longest, only 50 range shorter than nidalee's spear, and he has a 2 second stun, which he can also use in lane to set up damage from his Q. Plus he actually has a lot of damage if you build him correctly for mainly damage (i.e. no rushing a rod of ages or rylais), because of the range and CC he has.
