Poke with your laser when his shield is down (between minion waves), also don't be afraid to get some HP regen. A philo stone might sound crazy, but it gives you a lot of things you need to counter morde. It gives you HP regen to help against his harass, it gives mana regen to help you poke more (though you probably run around with blue buff, I hope) and the gold per 10 helps you keep up with his farm.

Once you survive the lane phase you shouldn't have any trouble nuking him to death in TFs. So try to farm as best you can, request ganks if you need them, and above all try not to die. Also your W is very effective on him, because he doesn't have any build in escapes.

Usually if I get only a slight upper hand on Morde he poses little to no threat anymore. If Morde has an upper hand on me I'm usually still able to nuke him down, but often ending in a draw or a very close escape for him (so with some backup I can still beat him, usually).
