Original post updated to adjust for the changes. I tried to make it keeping everything we discussed in mind.

You have too much cdr with your setup.

I have been using magic pen everything with scaling hp yellows and it works just fine.

This seems like the best setup without some odd things like mana glyphs/quints. The most runed CDR I'd want is 1-2 flat CDR glyphs or 1 scaling CDR glyph. Maybe a little more if you want to go 0/9/21.

sxspp runs mpen/mp5pl/manapl/manapl on his build it seems, scaling mana blues hit par with flat by lvl 8 or so. Quints are 4.17mana/level, so that's pretty hefty too.

Loci runs the same, just replace scaling mana with flat.

Duly noted and the post has been changed to reflect that. I have to get used to having min/maxing in mind. With the CDR runes I can reach the cap with a 15% CDR item so obviously since frozen heart gives 20% you guys are right when you say to go with mana altogether.

I think if I had to choose between what sxspp is doing or what Loci is doing, I'd go with Loci's because I like to be stronger early game to set the table for later, though either one seems good. MP5 seals give crazy annoying harassment early on, but I still like health too.

Mana runes seems like the way to go, with them and Sapphire crystal you can completely deny almost anyone from level 1. Now I think its really important as ryze to start domination early, since if he's in even footing at lvl 7 vs a lvl 7 Irelia or something, he's just going to get crushed.

I personally would take flat mana over mana/lvl.
Mana is such an accessible and cheap stat that scaling runes just don't compare to itemized mana. Flat mana gives you a significant early game boost that could possibly win you the lane.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Flat mana yellow/reds suck though, just saying. I'm not going to give up 8.5magic pen for 50 mana. I also think scaling HP yellows do wonder for how ryze is built (good magic res/armor, mediocre HP).

Flat mana quint/blues are sexy.

mp5 yellows red mpen imo.

The early mana for lvl 1 lane dominance is great, you can even get vlad to like 200 hp before hitting lvl 2 and then its already over.

Guhh the new Ryze is strange. Had a few games with him and they range from total domination (like I could 1v2 them after just spending 20 minutes in lane without any snowball items) to unbelievably one-sided defeat.

Some points worth noting:
1) Manamune isn't really an issue, I don't understand why everyone jumped on that bandwagon. Basically, you only upgrade your Tear when your other 5 slots are full of high-tier items, so it doesn't really matter and even then, 80-100 extra AD is probably better than some extra AP.
2) RUNES ARE EVERYTHING. I'm playing with a standard caster setup (MPen, MP5/18, MR, HP) and it's not really that good. At early levels your Q does moderate damage but you run out of mana so soon with the blue crystal opening (and you should never ever open anything else) that you don't exactly get to kill. I can imagine Ryze's early game with a full set of mana runes would be godly, but without them it is meh.
3) Ryze is incredibly snowball. He gets nearly nothing with levels, but gets so much with items which is like the opposite of what a caster usually is. Either you get a FB, some farm in lane, and get your tear/catalyst and go rape faces or you don't and you wander around still being the squishiest hero in the game with so-so sustained damage output and zero burst.
4) 40% CDR is a must. Your spells simply don't chain correctly without adequate amounts of CDR. So Frozen Heart is also a core item and your core becomes rather expensive.
5) Whenever you duo lane with Ryze, psychologically prepare to get kills. Farming in duo is generally harder than in solo, so you must kill to get your core. No matter what. This is like the most controversial point of the new Ryze - your sustained damage early on is nothing short of great, but you die so fast to burst that it isn't even fun, so actually doing great in a duo is freaking hard.
6) Soloing is a breeze and Ryze should probably be solo lane now. Rush catalyst and attempt to zone the opponent at levels 1-3 because from then on leveling is not in your favour. As said before, any hero gets more from experience than you, so you definitely don't want to stay on even footing with anyone. Fighting an attrition war with Ryze when both sides miss CS is not in your favor, so don't go overly aggressive even if you see an opening - you lose the lane just by not getting your farm.

Idk, i discover more and more things about him as I play, but I'm now almost 100% positive that you need a special runepage for him. Which is somewhat sad because only a few players can afford a runepage just to suit one champion (unfortunately, runes you desire are like totally useless on any other champion), so I guess we won't see Ryze that much. You like need 6300 IP for the page, 1350 for the champ and around 7500 IP for the runes which is way too expensive when you can just buy another AD snowballer for like 3150 and be fine with APen - MP5/18 - CDR page which everyone has. Standard caster runepages have little synergy with Ryze.

Flat mana glyphs can be useful on... jungle Udyr I believe, maybe jungle Maokai too?

Scaling mana reds/yellows (+21 at 18 per) are nearly as good as scaling mana blues (+26 at 18 per). My guess is scaling mana yellows are probably an ok alternative to mp5/l yellows.

Flat mana glyphs are good on just about every physical carry btw, with how the base mana regen was bumped up recently. I use them on 90% of my ranged DPS as well as pantheon, since they tend to have poor mana scaling in general, and you don't buy an early catalyst on them.

I pretty much agree with Bluz's assessment. There's no meh games anymore. There's no more games where I do well even if the team loses. It comes down to if my team is solid and can back me up, I do extremely well. But in that case I could probably play any damage dealing champion and win.

Then there are the games when my team is bad and can't back me up. Either the tank is inadequate, or something else isnt right. I get utterly destroyed. To avoid this before I used to go in and out bursting people down, trying to kill someone to turn the fight in our favor. Now if I want to do decent damage I have to pretty much stay in range, and if I don't have good teammates to back me up I get focused down like crazy. I'm even considering ghost/cleanse now for spells like you might do on Kassadin.

Now if I want to carry in solo queue I just play a carry and tank at the same time on Morde. Es #1 huehue

The rune page thing is really annoying. I used to use my Ryze rune page for a lot of AP champs, and even champs like Morde who benefit from magic pen. I don't want to buy another page, nor do I want to replace my AD page or jungle warwick page. I usually like choosing my champ based on team comp, but now I have to either commit to playing Ryze before the game or not playing him, because I change my AP page to put in all the mana runes. I'm not going to play Morde with mana runes obviously.

What do you guys think of the Expanded Mind mastery on Ryze? (+5% max mana @ 4/4 points, 2nd line in Utility tree). If you're gonna go 9/0/21, do you have enough points to squeeze that one in?

I'd like it if I could squeeze it in, but even with Ryze's mana synergy, it still seems like it's worse than virtually every other relevant mastery in the utility tree.

I take it. Ryze has no use for buff duration and I swear by SoS, so I just go 0/7/23.

Way off imo. Mpen reds, armor yellows, but blues and quints both flat mana. Much more early game damage and you have more staying power due to several extra spells.

MPen reds are fine. Jiji uses MPen reds/quints + scaling mana yellows/blues.

His masteries are also 9/0/21.
