Ryze works great against both of them although he's not a complete counter to those champions even though people say he is. If you can get into late game against Ahri with Ryze you'll probably win.

Leblanc is always a great pick to beat Ahri.

How do you usually build ryze items?

Like every champion, you should build them based on the situation.

You're against Anivia but you're doing okay with even CS. You should have started with boots 3 pots. After if you are not dying and taking loads of damage you can build tear first, otherwise build catalyst first.

From there you should build Mercury Treads, this should almost always be bought unless you're like 6-0 then go for Sorc boots because you're going to win anyways.

If you begin to take too much damage from Anivia or if they have a double AP comp (Anivia mid, Kennen/Vlad/Swain/etc top) then you should probably build your Banshee's Veil first, otherwise grab your Glacial Shroud.

If their jungler is AD like Nocturne or Lee Sin and your bottom lane is feeding their AD carry but your lane is easy enough to handle, you don't have to finish Veil just yet and buy your Frozen Heart.

Your current item build should be:

Merc Treads
Tear
Catalyst (or BVeil depending on what is currently going on)
Glacial Shroud (or Frozen Heart depending on what is currently going on)

Once your basic build is done you can move on to getting your Revolver -> WOTA.

You'll have 5 items with 1 slot left. This last item should be situational like the previous items.

If you aren't dying much late game and you can survive a team fight pretty easily, grab a Void Staff, especially if they're stacking MR.

If you are being focused in team fights and find yourself dying more than you should be, grab a Guardian Angel.

If worst comes to worst and their AP is fed out the ass then you might have to grab a Force of Nature, although, I never have to do this.

your opinion on mordekaiser?

I love Mordekaiser, he's just not good against everyone.

He has the ability to sit in lane all day and farm, once he has Revolver/WOTA, clear the wave, take your Wraiths + Wolves and possibly their wraiths as long as you don't die.

He can turn the tides of a team fight simply with his ultimate. As long as your team focuses the person you put your ultimate on, you'll probably win that team fight. Your clone gives you your metal shield when it attacks so you can easily 1v2.

Overall, I like him, just not against every AP mid.

A good Cass wins against a good Ryze.

Yup yup, you'll see Mordekaiser get his ult off and have a ghost, then you'll see them try to 2v1 him and lose.
