Which are classics.

Depends on how you define them. Murders imo is a deep cut.

Classics are stuff like TNOTB, RTTH, Hallowed, FOTD, Aces High, 2MTM, TETMD, The Trooper, Wrathchild and so on.
Something like Murders isn't in the same league for me, regardless of how I feel about these songs. Even Killers (the song) itself would be a deep cut in my opinion.

If there’s no new album, then after a tour like this one you’re really only left with a couple of options — either a part II that covers the rest of the discography (X Factor through Senjutsu), or a deep cuts tour. Anything else would leave them repeating themselves too soon.

If the timing were different I suppose they could do a BNW-focused tour for its 30th anniversary, but that would leave an extra 2-year gap in their schedule (unless the tour wrapped up in the anniversary year instead of starting in it, I guess).
