The problem with rushing Rylai's on Morde is that it is EXPECTED by your opponent, and it doesn't provide assurance in damage as a first item (if you lost lane, Rylai's won't help, but Ghostblade can at a cheaper price). Sounds real crazy, but a quick Q combo boosted by Ghostblade quickly outweighs the stat advantage by Ryali's for engaging at the right moment. Mordekaiser needs to land all three hits with his Q if you want to kill someone, and if Ghostblade can speed that up faster, Rylai's priotization would be pushed back as a 2nd or 3rd item to buy.

Also, I play Morde solo. No one wants to support Morde in Platinum (I don't blame them) and he has a hell of a hard time in botlane if he isn't last pick or has a weak support. /r/SummonerSchool be dammed if you take him anywhere than botlane.
