What messed him up was his pick a card no longer staying on him for very long. And they changed his passive which made it less of a general benefit for everyone to have him on your team. The really cool stuff like teleport ganking and pushing he can still do pretty well.

He just isn't the best choice right now. Normal mages are back in black for mid lane choices now it would be a matter of just farming to level six and teleport ganking somewhere. Many mages have horrible mobility so they won't get anywhere in time to help anyone you have teleported to kill. You'd just have to really kite and juke in your laning phase and just use red and blue rather than gold.
