Dirgehammer is right. First off if you do have mana problems on Pantheon you should consider grabbing some mana regen glyphs. If you don't want to do that (because you don't main Pantheon or for some other reason) then philo should be ok if you don't mind losing some early AD in favor of some regen/sustain. I've done the math and at level 18 with a fully maxed manamune it will only grant Pantheon ~43 AD without additional mana items, which means 50gp per attack damage. BF sword grants 1 AD per ~37 gp - much more cost-efficient. building a tear straight up after starting with a meki wrecks pantheon's early game potential very quickly considering he isn't all that tanky. Double doran's blades will usually keep Pantheon strong for the lane phase.
