Eruth was definitely a commander I found interesting as well. A lot of the recent precons that have had red in them have had a lot of synergy for "from exile" effects that work really well with her. I've never seen Idle Thoughts before. What a great card for Eruth!
Does Teferi's Ageless Insight work with her? I'm not sure, due to the wording.

Cadaverous Bloom has never let me down in Tasigur. Combine it with Well of Knowledge or Idle Thoughts to draw your whole deck or use it to fuel massive x-spells.

Pyromancer's Swath in my opinion has some synergy with madness (you already have some) and hellbent mechanics. Quick example: Cackling Flames.
In particular, you're interested in some permanent that lets you draw. There are a ton but I'll list those that have "hellbent": the oldest card is Fool's Tome recreated in blue by Idle Thoughts; old rakdos has something similar Nihilistic Glee. Recently Sea Gate Wreckage came out, that seems strictly better than the others to me.
Flashback spells aren't completely lost even if you discard them with Pyromancer's Swath: Firebolt. ((The same happens with Retrace Flame Jab buut you'll hardly be able to afford to throw away lands, unless you work with green land recoverers like Groundskeeper Life from the Loam))
Abilities that have the drawback of requiring you to discard your hand also work well with Pyromancer's Swath. You already have Chandra Ablaze but recently I found a neat example in Kaladesh, Bomat Courier (it has its own disadvantages of course, but can replenish a hand destroyed by Pyromancer's Swath - sometimes). Others could be Dangerous Wager or Jace's Archivist (the classic Wheel of Fate is a sorcery and will excusively work in your turn. Alternatively Reforge the Soul could also work by miracle in an opponent's turn. Both of these aren't reusable and might just get discarded if you for some reason can't cast them immediately - not worth the trouble imo)
You already have recurring creatures like phoenices. Those work well with the Swath.
