It was never a game of wits, it was Death being all "I don't feel like fighting, wanna perform [task] for me and we'll call the match a win for you"

Yeah, there's no way that Bigby has the power to kill Death, and Death would resent being forced to fight and wouldn't go out of his way to kill him. It's not a matter of cleverness, but diplomacy and willing to deal with literally Death, and having the stomach to do whatever twisted shit he asks. That being said, if Bigby wouldn't be willing to hurt innocents or whatever you'd figure Death would want, if you think he's deft enough to trick Death into thinking he would be, I suppose that counts as wit. Not really the same game though

oh, I guess it depends on what he's willing to do then?

if Death is like 'you really don't have a chance here but kill this village of innocents and you can live, whatever' will he be pragmatic enough to do that or will he just think that's terrible and attack Death anyway

disclaimer: I don't actually know what kind of deals this Death makes

pretty much. Death asked one of the protags to be Death for a day one time and another to kill his own brother, so he's more or less shown the kind of sadism in his dealmaking you'd expect from the reaper
