I love Malzahar v. Morgana. He can beat Morgana at the farm game, gets some great early game trade power through voidlings since Morgana's shield doesn't protect from voidling aggro, and he can help by roaming and helping other lanes while Morgana has to farm under her tower since he's such a strong pusher. His voidling also has the benefit of blocking the occasional Q. If Morgana tries to intentionally black shield your visions from a creep, you can easily fire a Q: she will either take the Q, or back off and let your visions continue farming. If your voidling is out, she'll definitely not want to intentionally absorb E.

The only problem is that she does more in team fights and arguably scales better later, but unlike Talon who shares a similar problem, Malzahar can actually still be a useful contributor in teamfights w/ that AoE silence (which lasts pretty long btw), % health spell that works well with any tank ccs, and generally is pretty strong at capturing objectives like Dragon or baron because of his damage. His spells also have great scaling, so the only thing that really falls off late game is his full combo (due to the obvious weakness to QSS and enemy cc).
