Im guessing this is the right forum since its not the standard deck.
White thresh is a really difficult deck to play at times, and Red seems to be somewhat lacking (at least compared to white),
I doubt this is any better than the white version but this is what i came up with
(explanations in parenthesis for non obvious cards)
Mana:
4 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted Delta
2 Tropical Island
3 Underground Sea
4 Lotus Petal (feeds thresh quickkly, pumps of stuff first turn, replaces basics since luckily i NEVER see wasteland somehow)

Creatures:
4 Nimble Mongoose
3 Werebear
3 Psychatog (replaces dragon/mystic enforcer) might switch out one since i tend to draw multiples and you dont want to see one too early anyway

Counter:
4 FoW
2 Counterspell
2 Daze
1 Stifle

"Draw"
4 Brainstorm
4 Serum Visions
4 Mental Note
2 Nights Whisper

Removal:
3 Ghastly Demise (works out really well surprisingly)
3 Darkblast (drege+tog is pretty obviously good) might go 2 gahstly, 4 darkblast but darkblast doesnt remove as well
4 Duress

Your list looks pretty solid, however I would reccomend not running petals since you dont run that many lands you want all of your mana sources to be permanent. Droping tog to a two off would also be good since you can then run 4 werebear. No matter what splash your running mongoose and werebear are MVPs.

Also since you have maindeck duress, you won't need as much countermagic so you should just go with the 4 force 4 daze package.

Darkblast could safely be a two of since it dredges; with all the cantrips finding it shouldn't be a problem. I really like the darkblast in this deck since it helps get thresh faster and also acts as recurring creature kill which Ive always had a problem with in UGW thresh which has only 4 swords.

Stifle should really be a two of at least if not more, since it is so savage against alot of decks in legacy.

The whole reason to run black in Thresh is to run Dark Confidant. It's a house: Run it.
