We've got a proper start to regularly scheduled card reveals with new cards from Blizzard!

As usual, we'll be covering everything as they come out, just like we're doing now!
Here's the new Murder at Castle Nathria card reveals, as posted by Blizzard now. Note that we should be getting more cards in half an hour from this post. Stay tuned and don't forget to visit our card reveal schedule.
2 New Location Cards Revealed - Paladin & Hunter
We've got the Great Hall & Castle Kennels revealed for Murder at Castle Nathria.
Comments
So, am I right to assume that location cards is not spell card? And it won't be cast from any RNG card?
Great Hall - Potentially dangerous without some interaction card for locations. You can just put this down and your opponent has to play around it 3 times. Its basically removal for 0 mana. It can also buff your stuff as an added bonus but I suspect it'll rarely be used for this reason.
Not likely to set the world on fire, but it does have it uses especially as a control card. There's only two equalities in the game and this card represent flex removal if nothing else.
Castle Kennels - Unless hunter gets really nice beasts to play this with, its likely just not much more than a + 2 to attack. Most good beasts tend to already have rush anyway.
Probably good at some point in the next 2 years.
One day paladin will get good removal
and it will be busted.
10 Mana Hero Card
Battlecry: If your deck has all paladin cards deal 10 damage to all enemies heal 10 to all allies.
Define 'good removal'. One of Paladin's central design features is that they debuff minions instead of destroying them directly. They have a couple of damage-dealing spells, but even that is covered by weapons the vast majority of the time.
So if you are waiting for conventional removal, you'll be waiting for a long time. But if you widen the net to include 2-card combos like Equality + Pyromancer or just shrinking minions so they don't need to be removed, then Paladin's removal is already pretty good.
But this is not the day.
