With Keldeo filling a wallbreaking role instead of a scarfer, we need to look somewhere else for speed control, and Kartana fits the bill here. Scarf Kartana helps to check a lot of big threats to the team such as Ash-Gren, Lele, HP Fire Kyurem, even Volcarona thanks to the extra moveslot for Aerial Ace running Defog on Scizor gives us. Kartana also can act as a cleaner, capitalizing on the wallbreaking potential of Specs Gar and CM Keld and snowballing with Beast Boost. Not much else to say, effective Scarfer/cleaner that improves the offense matchup and acts as a wincon for the squad.
