As with Oberron, I like the shield, too. Regrowth Pendant is just to recover any damage from Siphon but tbh, it's very minimal so shield can do the job. Ruby Crystal is also a starter and I guess it gets you to an Aegis faster (that's how I build him, anyways).






I have never started with a crystal, but i might try that, usually i go with shield, but i was beginning to wonder about pendant simply because it builds into other things. aside from trying out crystal for a few games, i think im convinced to stay with the shield, thanks guys

I don't think you'll find increased efficiency by starting with ruby. It's really only an increase in efficiency for Malphite, because of his passive basing off his hp and being rechargeable. Yes, starting with ruby will make your total gold spent lower (by ~190g), but you take a hit in survivability or length of time spent in lane, which would in essence lower your income by >190g.
I just pick
Faerie Charm and a ton of
Mana Potion's and pwn face while stacking Mp5 throughout the entire game.
Yea, Morde on full Mp5 is OP!
Now for a more serious response: I go with
Doran's Shield against enemy teams with a lot of physical dmg and
Regrowth Pendant against mixed and caster teams.
(I get a
Health Potion with both ofc)

I take Regrowth Pendant 90% of the time (and HP potion).
As long as you aren't laning vs. a couple of hyper-aggressive players with good harassment champs, it's not too rough to hang back a bit, and just step up enough to Siphon of Destruction for last hits & shield. It can also be helpful early game to toss your Creeping Death on cannon minions to build your shield, chance a last hit or two, and punish any enemy melees, all from a safe distance.
That said, I don't typically build my Regrowth into anything until my 4th or 5th item. Mord is such a great farmer that if you're new with Mord or not sure how well your laning phase will go, Doran's Shield is a great choice (it takes a minute or so to make the gold back once midgame hits).
