What are your initial impressions of Warlock in Standard?
Are there any Warlock decks that you love to play as?
Are there any Warlock decks you can't stand playing against?
Zoo is really strong. Darkshire Councilman is absolutely nuts! If going second, I will pretty much always keep this in my opening hand and coin it out on T2 - it will snowball quite quickly if the opponent can't deal with it, and you often have a 4/5 on board on T3. Forbidden Ritual is also quite good IMO and much more consistent than Imp-losion, not to mention its ability to be played on any turn.
IME with the new Zoo - Rogue and Priest are nearly guaranteed wins, Paladin, Mage, Shaman, and Hunter are mostly favored, and Druid and Warrior I hate playing against. Zoo mirror is a coinflip, IDK. I think it just comes down to whoever gets Sea Giant or the Councilman out first.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
What are your initial impressions of Warlock in Standard?
Good. Renno deck look strong (still) and Zoo is on the top as always. I guess in the future we can see more archetypes, just because the hero power is very good.
Are there any Warlock decks that you love to play as?
Nope. I enjoy Renolock but not playing very much. I using zoo to fulfill quests and such but I dont enjoy playing it.
Are there any Warlock decks you can't stand playing against?
Nope. I king of tired to see Zoo around, but at least this time the deck looks more "fair", without so many sticky minions.
What are some must craft Warlock cards?
Councilman, Forbidden ritual and Doomguard (if you didn't have this one yet)
What are your initial impressions of Warlock in Standard?
Zoo is back and better than ever. I hope renolock makes a comeback though, as I really enjoyed playing with it.

The new zoo list is a blast to play when I'm in the mood for something fast and aggressive. I do miss my reno list though...still trying to figure out how to best make it Standard-ready but having a lot of trouble with it.

Zoolock vs Zoolock is just silly, basically boiling down to "who can get out council or sea giant first". Other than this one case of mirror matchup woes, I have no complaints though.
I haven't been very interested in zoo, yet and I've been experimenting with almost every hero (was Renolock before WOG.) I'm still working on a renounce deck, hoping to create something that's solid, not just silly - tough work! I haven't been overwhelmed by Warlock's long game, now, but will get back to it. I suspect that for anything but zoo, Lord Jaraxxus is a must.
What to craft depends so much on whether zoo in enough for you, or you want to try a longer game. I wouldn't
I think Warlock is quite strong in standard even though I think he draw the short straw in this expansion (which just proves how powerful his hero power is in this game). Zoo will never perish and thanks to Reno there can be a control deck. One deck that I like playing now is my home-made Renolock with C'Thun and N'Zoth in it. Dreadsteed is great for both Old Gods with Usher of Souls. I dont mind facing any Warlock decks tbh (win or lose). (imo) Some great Warlock cards that can fit in almost all of archetypes are: Imp-Gang Boss, Dark Peddler and Darkshire Councilman. Forbidden Ritual is also a great card that has a chance for most Warlock decks if other cards are missing.

Darkshire Councilman and Forbidden Ritual (both of which I thought would be mediocre) are both insane. Flame Imp and Defender of Argus from the classic set both remain great cards as well.

Crazed Alchemist is "pretty" good in zoo.
