^This website collects data from ranked games in Plat+ elo and gives you highest Winrate/Popularity Runes,Masteries,and Items. It's always pretty useful.
TF's combos for trading are fairly basic: Simply try to Q into a Gold card when your E passive is available
Blue card + E passive is also a quick effective trade
If you want some more damage go the standard AP runes.
If you want to focus more on roaming and ganking swap the AP quints with movespeed.
21/0/9 are the ideal masteries for tf, the utility masteries giving him some much needed sustain and movespeed and sustain (see link)
For items build lich bane first and then ludens/zhonyas depending on if you want more damage or more survivability
Some tips:
-Use red card and throw it at minions near your enemy laner for a very safe trade
-If you don't plan on trading soon or getting ganked use your blue card whenever it is up
-Remember the damage on his W is Blue>Red>Gold!
-When ulting to gank a lane always try to pull out a gold card after you begin the teleportation process
-If you are in a desperate situation, really don't be afraid to double tap your W and test your luck. It's a lot better than trying waiting for a gold card and dying.
is tricky because TF has no real mobility to jump on him. Try for early game trades but most importantly keep your distance from him. He can output a lot of damage with his E>W combo. Request ganks. If you gold card him in a gank he will for sure flash if not die.
has effective range than most mid laners but can burst very effectively. The issue is, TF's power comes from farming/ganking but Malzahar is a very good duelist. Stay away from him @ level 6 and be very careful when he has ult. Early game don't be afraid to trade with him because Mal's early game is pretty poor (but still be smart about trading with him). Also remember his E (which is his "main" ability to max) will jump to a nearby enemy if the enemy who had it dies! Stay away from your minions that are about to die and have been infected. Again, request ganks and use your gold against him in ganking/trades. Gold into Q will help you a lot in this lane.
