I think I would more or less do the same with the commanders you have laid out so I don't have much to offer there. Instead here are some deck ideas I have planned/currently working on:

Deck Ideas

• Adamaro, First to Desire: Mono-Red group hug
• Rakdos, Lord of Riots | Hamza, Guardian of Arashin: Morph
• Sakashima of a Thousand Faces&Krark, the Thumbless: Focused on Brothers Yamazaki
• Barrin, Master Wizard: Modular-control deck (Arcbound Ravager)
• Firesong and Sunspeaker: Angel Spellslinging
• Daughter of Autumn: Damage Redirection Deck (Pariah/Vigor)
• General Jarkeld: Block everything! (Hundred-Handed One)
• Kentaro, the Smiling Cat: No plains in the deck, maybe cat tribal
• Baru, Fist of Krosa | Korlash, Heir to Blackblade: Utilize grandeur
• Korvold, Fae-Cursed King: Food token and Stuffy Doll with Gyome, Master Chef and Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar as the secret commanders.
• Kogla, the Titan Ape: King Kong theme (2005 Peter Jackson)
• Yidaro, Wandering Monster: Battle Cruiser (Unpredictable Cyclone/Sneak Attack)
• Any tribal deck because tribal is my favorite

God damn that's a long maybe board lol. I think you should cut out cards that are just big such as Adamaro, First to Desire you want trigger/activated abilities so that it can be more interactive with your deck unless you want to drop him so you Fling . If you can figure out which way you want to go with your deck I can help narrow down your list.

Adamaro, First to Desire

Lifeleecher-

Creature- Nightmare

When ~ enters the battlefield, you lose half your life, rounded up.

Lifeleecher's power and toughness are each equal to the life total of the opponent with the highest life total.

Now make a mechanic for a Ravnica set (RTRTRTR), where the guilds ally and you end up with the same combos as the Bond Cycle from WAR. Here's an example for Boros-Gruul (Naya):

Righteous Fury - You may have this creature enter the battlefield with {Some kind of bonus}. If you do, it gains "This creature must attack each turn if able"

So, I have a similar deck with a creature from the same cycle: Adamaro, First to Desire . It’s quite entertaining and the deck is full of free, no-downside draw for my opponents to keep him big, followed by Fling -ish spells or spells that deal damage equal to cards in hand. It’s rather fun watching my opponents try to get hellbent to make him smaller, which only helps a mono-red deck not lose horribly.

Darth_Savage on R/B draw

Kederekt Parasite, only works if you have a red permanent (Artifact, Enchantment, Creature or Planeswalker), you don't have any. Your playing in a similar space to Owling Mine (Ebony Owl Netsuke) decks, but wanting to leverage discard, so Gnat Miser might make more sense as a 1 drop creature. There are a couple of 3 drop creatures which are worth considering too Master of the Feast and Adamaro, First to Desire. Lastly here are a couple of spells that cause hand discard and draw; Reforge the Soul and Wheel of Fate and one that plays well with Burning Inquiry if you keep it Runeflare Trap. Hope this helps, good luck with your brew.

I'd replace the Reality Shifts with Lightning Bolts, and the Adamaro, First to Desires with Snapcasters.
