A merc pack is nice, but I was hoping that the event would include a Finley merc. It's crazy that non of the expansion protagonists are in mercs, meawhile all 3 of the other explorers are there. Just, why?
Locations give me PTSD for when Landmarks was introduced in LoR. It's probably fine though since they're less permanent. Also, I'm a bit surprised they just didn't introduce that in Alterac Valley with Objectives. They're pretty similar after all.
As this is an entirely new card type and not just a new mechanic, I'm sure we'll absolutely see Locations return. Not every set, but it'll be somewhat of a deciduous mechanic.
Hero cards are fairly rare to get, but we still get them every once in a while. I imagine this will be the same deal. Actually since this card type supports non-Legendary cards, we may actually get more of them than hero cards.
What I'm worried about for location cards is that they're probably only going to give each class only one of them and then throw out the mechanic entirely for the next expansion, like they tend to do for every mechanic ever.

I'd have to play it again, but I think you could interpret it as Rafaam dying in the LoE version of GA
That depents on which version of the Story you played. The E.V.I.L version ends with Rafaam killing Galakrond after realizing that life is worthless if everything gets destroyed, meanwhile the Explorers version endet with them defeating Rafaam and Galakrond.
I'd have to play it again, but I think you could interpret it as Rafaam dying in the LoE version of GA, though it was left ambiguous.
Of the other characters, I'm guessing the blue guy is Pelagos.
Show Spoiler
I guess this happens before he becomes the arbiter? Or, you know, just some weird alternate timeline for HS as often happens.
The orc female might be Draka (Thrall's mum), who could easily be the rogue legendary if so (see Maldraxxus cinematic).
The others we haven't accounted for look like typical Shadowlands folk, though I have no idea what to make of the person in the top hat. I'm sure someone who plays WoW could enlighten us.
Funfact: "murder mystery" was the original theme for the witchwood expansion, which started out with the title "murder at the gilnean express". They also briefely described a "investigate" keyword, which seems to be the base for Murloc Holmes. They later dropped that theme because during designing this expansion they constantly found themself more interested in the gilnean woods and monsters around the train. So I'm interested in finding out how they made the theme work for this expansion.
I think you're underestimating just how bad having a 40 card deck is for most archetypes. Aggro wants to play the highest quality cards possible, and combo wants to get their specific combo cards in hand as quickly as possible. A 40 card deck makes that harder, and the extra 10 health just isn't worth the trade-off. Control is probably the only archetype that would consider running this card, since the 10 health is more valuable and a bigger deck is potentially an upside.
At 0:46 in the trailer you can see RAFAAAAAM THE SUPREME ARCHAEOLOGIST!!! I'm already hyped to see Rafaam return, lets hope his new card will be good! Though i'm really wondering why Rafaam is in the shadowlands, considering it's basically WoWs afterlife...? Pretty sure he didn't die in Galakronds awakening. (League of explorers won ending) Also considering Sire Denetrius invited his enemies, i'm kinda wondering why Rafaam is one of Denetrius enemies.
Oh and Kel'Thuzad at 0:45, which means probably a new Kel'Thuzad card, not that surprising considering Kel'thuzad was already in shadowlands.
Either way those were the only characters i really recognise. (Never really played Wow, but i do like watching some non-shadowlands lore videos every so often. So i'm probably overlooking some recognisable characters.)
Oh and i'm already predicting that Dentrius didnt actually die, he probably framed his death and framed others for his own enjoyment. Also Prince Ranathal will be in almost every deck i use, cant wait for 40 cards reno decks, and 45 card only-legendaries decks.
No penalty? It's established wisdom that you want the smallest possible deck in card games to improve consistency. For most decks, adding 10 cards just means you are less likely to have the best 30 when you want them.
