All you'd need is one in-lane pink ward every three to five minutes, along with normal ward coverage for the river and such

And if you can't afford that, then you either suck at farming, or you suck at managing your gold

And Zhonya's isn't critical, but it would definitely help for laning against Talon, being able to burn three of his most important cooldowns and taking no damage, not to mention it gives you 120 damned AP, making it a /more/ than reasonable enough alternative to buying a deathcap

So yes, it does sound perfectly reasonable
