To be fair, with all the sorcery speed removal floating around, furor is often no worse than a pillar to the face, and can have significant upside against opposing aggro decks that are using red burn spells as situational removal. That said, it's more of a sideboard than a main deck card.
1: pillar is to the face is pretty mediocre.
2: thragtusk can't block pillar of flame.
I hate dogs.

That's why I say it's a sideboard card. Playing it vs. thragtusk decks is suboptimal.

Hate to say it ^ but your two points contradicted themselves.
Point 1, pillar to the face is pretty mediocre
point 2. Pillar is unblockable and gets through thragtusk
So your overall argument is hey even though pillar is mediocre, it gets past thragtustk...?
I am just trying to follow your logic there, I don't think the enchantment is great by any means but... I don't think its unplayable.

My point is that pillar is mediocre, even when it bypasses tusk, so a "pillar" that can't bypass tusk is complete ****.

If furor is actually THAT bad, mind giving any alternatives? Should I add some more 1/2/3 cmc creatures? More burn? Splash green for Thragtusk?
Pointing out problems in my deck without mentioning solutions to said problems doesn't really help all that much.

I personally like a burn package of 4 Pillar of Flame  , 4 Searing Spear  and 4 Brimstone Volley  , with 2 Bonfire of the Damned  from the 'board. Furor isn't so bad, I guess, just seems janky as all hell. Like Crippling Blight  . Just thinking about it makes me sad, but apparently it's playable against Thragtusk  . I'd still splash black for Falkenrath Aristocrat  because indestructible flying Lightning Elemental  is good, I hear. Also lets you have a pair of Olivia Voldaren  out the 'board vs. aggro and Rites.

Once you start adding colors though, it's no longer RDW.

No, it's still RDW, except that it wins more because flying + haste + indestructable.
Is Zombies no longer Zombies when it splashes a colour?
