He's tankier than most mages because he get's superior defenses by buying mana items- Mana items tend to have awesome effects, like BV and FH. Ryze just becomes superbly hard to kill, never goes OOM, and tosses out a 200+ damage nuke every 2 seconds or so in a teamfight. He has a lot higher utility then Vlad too, due to his snare and his bouncing ball of mres reduction.
