Time to explain how i would build him. Lich Bane somewhere, dependant on lane. Earlier the better because his auto damage drops off early, Rush Spirit Visage, Zhonya's/Sorcs, Void Staff or Rylai's, Liandry's/Rabadons/Warmogs.

I dont build mage Vlad, what im looking to get out of Lich Bane is not burst but something to do while waiting on Cd's. Vlad sucks at burst, but people are understanding that and so they'll go for quick engages. With the Lich Bane you have an unexpected aspect to engages, he can hurt between Cd's. This is massive in my opinion, because thats how people defeat Vlads. They wait his damage out then throw out their set and chase him down.
