Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.
You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.

Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zilean.
