WhySummon Aery

Thanks to Morde's close range and multiple DoTs ([W] and [R]), you're able to repeatedly proc Aery in extended trades for very reliable damage.

WhyNullifying Orb

Nullifying Orb allows you to trade aggressively into difficult lane matchups with the added safety of your shield and Null shield.

WhyTranscendence

Transcendence's mid-game CDR is huge for teamfights where you're able to get multiple casts of [E] and [W] off.

WhyScorch

Scorch is a fantastic lane dominance rune that provides a lot of damage for early trades/fights. Look to proc the bonus damage with an [E] every time is comes off of cooldown.

WhyTaste of Blood

Taste of Blood on Mordekaiser is great for lane sustain when poking and trading and synergizes well Ravenous Hunter and Gunblade healing.

WhyRavenous Hunter

Ravenous Hunter synergizes incredibly well with Gunblade to provide you a ton of healing so that you can continue dishing out damage.
