I prefer playing Mord as a penetration-based off-tank on the top lane.

I use magic pen masteries, which gives me 14 magic pen right off the bat. I think this works better aswell, because it increases the damage I deal to champions as I level up, and decreases the damage I deal to minions (as opposed to if I had a lot of AP from my runes), so I don't push as hard.

My build is usually Sorc Boots, WotA, Liandry's, Abyssal, Zhonya's, and Void Staff.

I get a total of 44(+20 from the Abyssal, although they have to be near me) magic penetration, plus the 39% from Void Staff and Masteries. The lack of Rabadon's isn't much of a deal for me, because I'm not really aiming to be an AP caster, I'm just using my high base damage and penetration to deal ridiculous damage to the whole enemy team, while still being tanky enough to last in fights.

Personally, I think this is one of the best builds for Mord, simply because it allows him to be tanky enough to be on the front line, while still dealing enough damage to be a real threat to most enemies.
