WhyArcane Comet

Locking a gold or red card with [W] effectively guarantees a hit with Comet making it one of the most reliable uses of the rune of any champion.

WhyManaflow Band

Manaflow Band helps to sustain your mana pool so that you may cast more CC empowered [W]s as well as [Q]s.

WhyAbsolute Focus

Absolute Focus' bonus AP is huge for getting you early lane priory so that you can assist your jungler in early skirmishes with your strong [W] CC.

WhyScorch

Scorch is the go-to rune for lane harassment and early game pressure. A few procs of scorch in lane and you'll be primed to set up a kill with your jungler.

Zhonya's Hourglass is a huge power-spike item for Twisted Fate, opening up the opportunity to hard engage a teamfight while still keeping yourself safe.
