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.

WhyThe Ultimate Hat

Mordekaiser has no mana costs, making his use of a rune like Manaflow Band completely useless. More [R]s from Ultimate Hat means more kill threat and lane pressure damage.

When playing in to high magic damage teams take Nullifying Orb instead.

WhyCelerity

The bonus Movement Speed from Celerity is especially useful in scenarios for Mordekaiser because a large majority of his damage comes from being able to stick to his target.

The extra bit of Movement Speed from [W] will also grant a little extra Ability Power.

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.
