Build relatively tanky. You're pretty much melee with even your E having pretty meh range.

Spellvamp is crucial. You have negative sustain without it. At least get Hextech to mitigate that.

Liandry's, as the previous poster said, is core. It does ridiculous things for your ult and is generally a strong item all around, as well as giving Mord the tankiness he so needs to stay in a fight. Rylai's synergises well with it and is a good tanky AP item, and gives you at least some CC to deal with the fact you've got zero innate.

MPen is generally a better pick than AP, particularly given that you get Liandry's. I'd almost never get Rabadon on Mord, but if they were getting enough MR I'd go Void. Abyssal Sceptre's also pretty nice as a defensive choice for MR with the aura, especially if you're not the only AP on your team. Depends how tanky you're wanting to be - Visage might work better if you're going for a defensive build. Mord does like him some CDR too.
