I replaced soulfire with hellfire and its been working so well

i've been using this deck with slight adjustments and it worked really good for me, first I cut both mistresses and put in second dreadlord and second bonemare, those 2 cards are too insane to just play 1 off, then I cut the Spellbreaker, it's honestly not as good as before and I started to play with Cairne, he's so annoying for all the classes to remove and if you get a turn6 Cairne into Bonemare it's absolute nuts. I've also been wanting to try dropping one saronite and maybe a Ghoul to lay a couple Fire flies but I understand you don't just want to play Zoolock and by making that change it feels like it's better to just play standart zoolock honestly and with Imps and Voidwalkers you should have enough early game, nice deck overall dude, but definitely try those changes as they are better for late game tempo and while the healing for mistress is nice there are very few times when I get like heal face into free ghoul with her and at late game you should have a decent pressure on your opponent to the point where playing a mistress will just give your opponent more life to work with.

So far I have played a number of games with this deck and it just doesn't seem to do as well as a normal zoolock deck. I like the idea but it just doesn't seem to have enough punch to finish most games. Rank 5 and lost  5 games in a row. If you don't draw Kel it just is kind of a slow aggro deck and doesn't have enough control elements to mold into a control deck. I have fatigued against any control deck and couldn't hold ground against aggro. I like it but it needs some tweaking to be viable at 5 or higher.

What do you think some good replacements would be? It's not a zoolock, it's more about creating fat tempo swings with good combos. I usually sit on cards if I'm against control, you can draw like crazy and not feel it because of all the heals, then you can set up discard plays better. 

I'm currently stuck at rank 2-3, so it's still doing well enough for me to climb. I'm losing mostly to big priest or control warlock, but I smash every variation of druid, and most aggro decks unless I get two or more of my like six 4+ mana drops in my mulligan, which rarely happens.

I did consider putting in a Cruel Dinomancer just for those times I discard a doomguard or LK, but there's no good trade off. Even the one Despicable Dreadlord is necessary, I'd have two but the Spellbreaker silence also feels needed. I originally had x2 Bonemare but after losing a few games due to an enemy's LK I decided to throw him in there, and most times no matter which card he pulls it's huge for me.

The best case scenario for this deck is getting your Imps and Mistresses early (void's are okay/great depending), obviously Keleseth turn two, and a good  heal+Ghoul or discard+Golem play (fledge is great too depending), then pretty much any variation until you can setup an Imp/Doomguard discard play, and finish with LK and Guldan reviving all your demons. Most times if you use Imp properly you get huge tempo swings with the free card draw + Soulfire/Doomguard + even one Golem dropping (and if you played Keleseth earlier, GG).

No shame in my game, I'll take the time if people are interested, simple as that.
