I see the opposite.

Relic Shield is a good option on him, you don't have to be Melee to use it, just ask Thresh. He has got no mana problems at all so can easily use a Q to last hit 2 minions at once.

Also he is actually in lane for long enough periods of time to make use of Ancient Coin too.

And as for Spellthief's edge, he can blow all the charges on someone then roam while they recharge. Granted it is the worst of the options considering he doesn't scale very well with AP but it's possible in theory.
