Here's how I generally play murder-kaiser..

Masteries and Runes:21-9-0 Masteries; MPen Red, Armor Yellow, MR per Lvl Blue, AP quints (just re-using my Cho top page, since I haven't created my own page for this guy...the Ideal page has spell vamp quints and more AP or something)

Starting Items: Rejuvenation Bead (may be sold later)+4HP pots+2wards and ward trinket...

Necessary Items: Hextech Revolver, Sorcerer's boots, MPen Items like Haunting Guise/Void Scepter, DFG

Damn Fine Items: Rabadons, Hourglass, Lichbane, Rylais, Abyssal Scepter, Spirit Visage(Mostly if your opponent is difficult/High AP team)

Early: Play carefully..E+Q is your usual farming technique...my usual method is to push to the enemy turret, quickly back up and do wraiths while the enemy pushes the lane back to usual...however, this may not always work, especially with enemies who can tower farm and freeze the lane there, so be careful of that...

Usually, on going back, I buy hextech revolver ASAP for the spell vamp, though if (AND ONLY IF) I'm doing extremely well, I get Needlessly Large Rod+5HP pots+2 wards first...however, my second item MUST THEN ALWAYS BE REVOLVER...

Enemy harassing is mostly E, though occasionally, you can use Q on them...most of the time harassing with Q involves hitting a minion close to them with it....

Max order, as already said, is R>E>Q>W

Mid: After hitting 6, I harass the enemy like usual, till they reach about 1/4th of their health...then it's DFG active+R+ignite+E(+Q if possible)...This kills all characters(Zilean Ult, Kayle Ult, Trynda ult, etc. not counted)...

In team fights, you usually use the combo on their carry (usually ADC, though some AP carries like Diana, Fizz, etc may work since their AA passives carry over)...otherwise, a secondary target may be a tank, so the ghost becomes a damage soak for your team...however, remember that since they're tanky, your combo itself may not be enough to kill them, so you'll need your team's help for that...

Late: If this isn't happening, you went wrong somewhere

Lane-wise, Morde can handle most lanes, however be careful of constant ranged harass(like Ziggs, Yorick,etc) and be extremely careful of Zyra since she counters you completely in lane...

Have fun and Happy Murdering...
