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!

AdamS

ok i like the  {Thraximundar} i wanted to play more of a field control deck so thank u for the suggestions

LadyGrixis

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.

AdamS

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

LadyGrixis

Then you should be gravy! Just make sure you can mana ramp like a boss to get Thrax out and start swingin' :D

AdamS

wen i played today i had 5 mana or turn 2

AdamS

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

LadyGrixis

{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!

AdamS

do u know of any good combos for the {Dismiss into Dreams}

LadyGrixis

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.

AdamS

ok thank u for ur help il message u if i have any more question

LadyGrixis

Spells that contain Overload would work as well, like {Electrickery} or {Street Spasm}.

AdamS

im also adding  {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind} {Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius} for instant kill after master of cruelty hits
