It was considered as an ability before Twisted Fate was released. As far as I know, in the beta version he already didn't have it.

Judging from how old that concept is (before VU), the violet card we see in his Stacked Deck is probably a tribute to his never seen ability. In fact, I believe that was supposed to be his E, not a part of his W. At least that's what I remember from what I had read a year ago, when i got interested in TF's kit changes over the years. Personally, I think his current E to be more useful.

And anyway, it looks like the idea for that ability was used for Bard in the end.
