How to play it

Watch his gold card
His W cycles to a gold card that stuns: always check whether he has one loaded before you dash in or reset in a fight.
Your window
Let him shove, then punish the poke: when he steps up to harass you under turret, dash on him; you win both short and long trades if he is playing AP.
Land your daggers
You win the side lane, but TF stacks move speed and walks out of your daggers: make sure you hit your W to stick to him.
Never try to run a fleeing TF down through your daggers: he builds move speed to walk out of them, so land your W first or don't commit.
