I suggest {kaalia the vast}.
Because master's ability triggers at the end of declare blockers step and not as an attacks trigger the card does not need to be declared as an attacker for them to go to 1 life. Because he is a demon he can be cheated in by kaalia for free and in time to his ability to trigger and Kaalia will deal the remaining damage to kill them if they have no blockers available.
For Rakdos, I'd go with:
{Rakdos, Lord of Riots}
{Bladewing, the Risen}
{Olivia Voldaren}
{Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch}
And for Grixis, I'd go with:
{Crosis, the Purger}
{Thraximundar}
{Tetsuo Umezawa}
And if you want to play a beat face RBW that summons all kinds of demons, angels, and dragons, then {Kaalia of the Vast} is your babe!
ok i like the {Thraximundar} i wanted to play more of a field control deck so thank u for the suggestions
If you want field control, then I suggest Olivia (if not for your general, then at least in the deck) because she has the ability to bulk up/ping creatures as well as eventually stealing your opponents' creatures, therefore giving you complete field advantage :)
But ol' Thraxie boy will do VERY nicely.
ok if i can get one i will use it but i have a {B}{W} tht steals creatures really well so il just use tht in the deck
Then you should be gravy! Just make sure you can mana ramp like a boss to get Thrax out and start swingin' :D
wen i played today i had 5 mana or turn 2
ok so i have a {Liliana Vess} {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker} {Lord of Lineage} {Grave Betrayal} {Grave Pact} {Butcher of Malakir} and {It That Betrays} {Dismis into Dreams} from my rare book but i havent ever played grixis or blue before so idk what {U} cards to add and i could use so suggestions on more field control
{Blasphemous Act} is your board wipe. {Go for the Throat}, {Doom Blade}, {Grave Betrayal}, {Murder}, {Corpse Lunge}, {Corpse Hauler}, {Lightning Bolt}, {Skullcrack}, {Cancel}, {Unsummon}, {Mana Leak}, omg....I'm dying from all the possibilities!!!!! Black is so much death and reanimation, then there's Red with all of its blasting hot flames, AND THEN you have Blue with all the control and counter spells. WITH GRIXIS YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS!
do u know of any good combos for the {Dismiss into Dreams}
Play spells that contain the Replicate ability, then apply that to all your opponents' creatures on the field. INSTANT board wipe. Like you could target them all with {Gigadrowse} or {Pyromantics} and they would all go poof no matter how strong they are. Just watch out for hexproof creatures/abilities/equipment/enchantments.
ok thank u for ur help il message u if i have any more question
Spells that contain Overload would work as well, like {Electrickery} or {Street Spasm}.
im also adding {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind} {Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius} for instant kill after master of cruelty hits

But {master of cruelties} has to attack alone doesnt it? :/
No. It only needs to be declared by itself during the declare attackers step. Because kaalia triggers on attack and the card is cheated after that step you can attack with both. MoC's second ability triggers after the declare blockers step
