@TheEmgee Deathtrap12 may be on to something with Harmless Offering. If you set yourself up right then you could use the gift so that the phobia triggers an additional time in quick succession. It is by no means a fast combo, but you might be able to get away with it and have Demonic Pact at the same time.
Truthfully though you probably shouldn't bother going 3 colors unless green is one of them given the costs of most of the spells you're already running. The way I see it is that the actual base of your deck idea is mono black control, but depending on your meta/personal playstyle you may wish to splash other colors.
For instance, a purely U/B variant would be running counter spells for opposing control cards and the Turn to Frog combo you've mentioned (and a Compelling Deterrence if you run the Pact).
However, a purely R/B one would be more destructive against creature-centric decks, as you could include plays like Harmless Offering + Priest of the Blood Rite ) after you use board wiping effects like Languish.
Even W/B offers a unique take with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim + Felidar Sovereign + Tree of Perdition for a life gain win (and again a card like Angelic Purge to deal with the Pact if needed).
G/B I'd say is the traditional route though because of all the Delirium synergy you'd gain, thus the Phobia win might be better able to hide in the background (and the Pact should likely be left out for the delirium synergy cards).
Personally I'm not capable of building just one style, hence all the variations I mentioned above, but if you feel you just really want to pull off a Grixis color Phobia deck then bare minimum you need to put in Nahiri's Wrath if you just splash colors and/or run the Fiery Temper + Lightning Axe pair. The former is a new, albeit kinda odd, boardwipe and the latter can burn a creature for 8 or for 5 and a player for 3. Which is quite adept I think at getting that last bit of damage in that you were looking for.
