Almost all of top 200 players are using either priest or some variation of Warlock. This deck is a good matchup against priest already, so teching against Cubelock/control Warlock is smart
Beetle is 2 mana 2/3 with 3 armor (healing) and Zola is 3 mana 2/2, so no. They have different job to do. But you can replace Thalnos with Zealot. If you really want Zola in your deck put her in place of 1 mortal coil.
Shaman is really bad right now, there is no deck that I know of that's good. It's still early in the meta so it might change. I saw somewhere exodia Shaman deck with OTK combo, it looked ok. Also Disguisted toast tried to build one today (or yesterday) so you may look that up. I think the main problem with Shaman is that he's not good enough to be a tempo deck (Paladin, Rogue and even Warlock have better minions) so it either have to be midrange or control, or even fatigue. But I don't see any way that Shaman decks can beat Raza Priest or current Voidlord-Guldan Warlock in a control or fatigue matchup. So the only thing that's really left is mid-range, which is kind of a lost art. I would look into combo that include Cube, Murmuring elemental, Fire Elemental, Grumble Worldshaker and Bonemare. It would work like this: fire elemnetal-> cube- turn2>kill cube on minion-> Worldshaker -> murmuring ele. -> Fire Elem. -> fire Eleme. At the end of this 2 turn combo you dealt 12 damage and got 2 fire ele. and Worldshaker. That's just an example that works with your cards, look into using some battlecry/charge cards to get synergy with worldshaker.
Edit. 15 damage from battlecrys + cube attack (4). So 19 damage in 2 turns, can either kill the board or go face without loses on your side.
EDIT. 2 With Blazecaller, which works as well, you deal 25 damage during 2 turns. Which can be a lethal. So that's your winning condition. There is no clear plan b, other than using Corridor Creepers and Bonemares to put pressure on your opponent
You're right about that, it's just you really need to have one hellfire in your hand early and by having 2 you increase your chance of having it. It's not very useful (at all) later in a game, but with current Hunter Seal (summon 3/3 wolfs, from 2 to 4) defile without Bloodmage doesn't help. And they play it around turn 5-6. It's too early for nether, and I considered many other removals but none works well against hunter (either too much mana or not effective). I really like consistency. Honestly that's my problem with Oakheart, drawn very late in a game he's a burden, regardless of deck you play him in.
Thank you for your comment! I will look into changing some things, I agree it's a little to defensive right now. I'm thinking about 2 ways to improve this deck: 1. Drop Oakheart and add 2 Void rippers. It can make a board full of 1/3 and 3/9 a lethal 1 turn combination (I will probably go this rout) or 2. Drop 1 hooked reaver and 1 humuculus and add 2 crystalweavers.
2 Voidlords are a must, because their are so powerful against aggro, also because you hope to have 1 in your deck when you play Oakheart. Hellfire is necessary against Hunter decks. You're right on the rest.
Glad you liked it! :) I played 33 games today and ended with 21 wins and 13 loses, which is 62%. A lot of people trying new decks so it's too early to tell, but it does well against all decks other than mill decks and quest mage. I made some changes, replaced Geist because nobody runs Jade Druid right now and it destroys dark pact, also replaced one arcane tyrant with second hooked reaver because it rewards going deeper on own damage during early turns (and upgrading spellstones by doing so).
My control Warlock deck. It doesn't have Krul, so it's not as sexy as some other decks here, but I think it's very consistent and will be very good against most meta decks used. Master Oakheart is the MVP of new expansion in my opinion (at least for Warlock players)
Looks like a fun deck, I have all the cards except for 2 key ones, quest itself and Zavas. Really nice deck. That being said, discardlock is a niche type and there is a new expansion coming soon so crafting this deck is not a reasonable option. But if you have the cards - it must be a fun using it.

Very nice deck! Could use 1 or 2 1-mana minions more. Will try it for sure

And replacement for Finja? Got most of the other cards. Was thinking about Leeroy or Valanyr

Cr Marin is not a good fit for Zoo Warlock

I agree with everything you said. Would love to see your deck
