Boss Overview

Big Bad Wolf is the second boss in The Opera wing of the One Night in Karazhan adventure.

Pro Tips and Strategy

Big Bad Wolf begins with 20 Health and 15 Armor.
The board will initially contain 3 enemy Kindly Grandmother. Silence here can be helpful, just make sure you can kill the spawned minions off asap to prevent yourself from taking critical amounts of damage.
His passive hero power forces all minions to cost 1 mana and your minions which are summoned will only have 1/1 stats.
Due the hero power, minions which generate tokens that can flood the board become very valuable.
Cards which buff your 1/1 minions can help you get more valuable trades. Think Blessing of Kings.
Be wary of Swipe, it can ruin your hopes and dreams.
Steward of Darkshire makes this fight hilarious for Paladins. Shields for everyone!
Kel'Thuzad can provide infinite value. Bosses don't attack minions until Kel'Thuzad is killed so buffing him and keeping him behind a taunt minion makes life easy.
Flamewreathed Faceless - The 1 mana 7/7.
Abomination has been suggested as a great way to clear out the Big Bad Wolf.
- Explosive Sheep also has the same effect if you want to give yourself better chances of drawing into the AoE effect but do keep in mind you need to kill it yourself as it doesn't have taunt.
C'Thun can be fun during this fight. He will spawn with his actual stats and can provide some nice clear.
- Twin Emperor Vek'lor will spawn his brother with his full stats. The value!

I played abomination on turn 4 and nothing moved after that...boss had 5-7 minions out all the time kept buffing them with power of the wild (did 2-3 times)but none of them attacked..they didn't attack for 3 turns in a row so I built the board taking my time and killed him...

Played it on turn 1. AI cleared it. Looks like this was fixed (somehow).

I can vouch for this. Also in the first try, miraculously lol. I guess you need a bit of RNG to get something good from evolving the minions, especially the higher costs. Either way, it actually works. As long as you get the board-clears early you're good.

Deathrattle really does shine when it comes to the Big Bad Wolf, but sometimes it's just as fun to find alternate ways to win. Pally-lock works great here especially with corrupted seer not taking away your board when you try to clear.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this boss and coming up with this decklist. Please enjoy!

How are you playing Naxx Cards, when you can't use them?

I am trying everything here.... can't build a Deck with the Cards you mentioned.

Easiest 1st try 5th turn kill of ~~BBC~~ BBW. Description inside. Exploit of 1 manacost minion ability. Expensive guys (Cairne, Sylvannas and Sneed) can be replaced, but with less efficiency. Runts and Nzoth - MVP.

if you make a *wild* deck then you can select your Naxx cards, if you have them.

I was able to use a Wild deck because Dr. Boom was my MVP!

Agreed, it was a fun deck despite me getting some shifty draws in the first few turns.

I ended up using Anub'arak instead of Malygos and the Boss refused to kill him off.
