The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Death Reaper Intro (edit)

Since this seems to be basing on the triplet Newt/Witch/Cauldron, shouldn't there be more copies of the Witch?

Reassembling Skeleton is better than Tenacious Dead and should replace or complement them.

Stinkweed Imp is probably better than Deathgaze Cockatrice in this.

I don't see the use of Archetype of Finality in this. Sure, it is a nice to have, but at 6 mana you can get better things these days. Minotaur Abomination is even worse. You are probably on a budget, but I bet you have more useful fatties in your collection than this one. Skeletal Vampire maybe? Would fit in perfectly.

Fallen Angel is certainly better in this deck than Sengir Vampire.

Blood Artist should be in this somewhere, most likely 4 times! Definately more useful than the Gnawing Zombie you have there (albeit not as durable).

Thunder Strike and especially Wring Flesh aren't exactly great. Terminate would serve you well instead of Wring Flesh, so does Lightning bolt and many other spells that are easy to obtain. Thunder Strike is ok - so are many, many other spells. You would probably be better off if you had something that boosts your creatures permanently instead. Since your creatures come and go, a creature enchantment won't do, but what about equipments? You probably cannot afford to run something like Sword of Fire and Ice, but what about Sword of Vengeance? It does the same as Thunder Strike plus some more and you can reuse it. Very underrated budget equipment in my mind.

Act of Treason is very good in this deck (because you can sacrifice the creature before you have to give it back), so there should probably be more than 1. These could also replace Wring Flesh.

Lot's of great suggestions. Will try to replace the weaker spells and eventually add some more witches/cauldron's. Rakdos guildgate?
What you see is the early stage of editing the Death Reaper Intro deck. As you correctly deduced, I'm a casual player on a budget ;)
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

I didn't know this is a precon. I just thought it's a deck a beginner is slapping together from what he has.
