If he's fighting sustain he can't do much until he solves his own sustain problems, which is why Shureyla's is common him since most Malph's get philo no matter what position, A malph can still win if he forces the enemy into a bad position, but just try to out sustain him when he's top, but also try to cripple him before he gets his first big item, as he can easily spiral. (Most tops he can just get FH/Sunfire, while for Ap tops' he can get FoN then continue with normal armor building)

He's most stoppable when he's getting his first three items Philo-Boots-HoG, afterwards he can sit back and wait for gank, don't waste much of your own mana poking him unless you know you can get past his shield.
