Definitely go with Mono Red Aggro/Gargadon

it's more consistent than the other deck.. Just hope that you don't run into too much control deck like in montreal (I suppose you go to Ottawa), and too much MBC metagamed against Gargadon

I would play keldon Marauders maindeck (instead of Gathan Raiders)... more synergy with greater gargadon

and I don'T understand why people play Wildfire Emissary.. there IS no white deck in TSP block... there isn't even white splash + it's really slow. I probably would put 2 more Dead/Gone (against Tombstalker it's really good, Akroma, Angel of Wrath, timbermare and such...)

so i resume

-4 Gathan Raiders
+4 Kedlon Marauders

-3 Wildfire Emissary
+2 Dead Gone
+1 something

good luck!

people play emmisary, because of the white deck in TSP block
its called white weenie, also
have you seen how good it is against the other red decks?
RDW on RDW is all about card advantage and emmisary does it all, it either takes a dude and a burn spell, or 2 dudes or 2 burns spells, or he takes all their tempo by soakin up huge disintegrates, and against damnation decks he can just smash in for 5 or 6 a turn and theyll have to wrath just him and then youll have plenty of gas post wrath.
