How to play it
DO
His E stacks
Stacked Deck is the one thing to fear in lane — he wins trades at full stacks, so don't trade into it.
Trade on his reset
Trade the moment he's consuming his stacks — that's when Stacked Deck can't punish you.
Cleanse or Mercs
Take Cleanse or Mercury's Treads — you can't play the lane without an answer to his gold card.
DON'T
Never lane against him without Cleanse or Mercs up — you can't survive his gold-card setup otherwise.
