Making cuts to try out new cards, even if I'm not anticipating playing the deck in person for a while. Lark is coming out relatively quickly to limit the list's combo potential. Other cuts are primarily aimed at bringing the curve down slightly while filling broadly similar roles. Rankle and Mythos are both occupying removal slots, Lurrus and Lark are both for recursion of small permanents (Lurrus is admittedly here on more of a trial run), Izoni and Nethroi are both late game haymakers taking advantage of a stocked yard, and Artisan and Forays both turn creatures that have outlived their usefulness into additional resources. I generally play pretty tutor light, so I'll see how I feel about this after I actually have a chance to play around with it. I do like that it's also an inexpensive creature with the potential to be a sizable beater late game. Devoted Caretaker for Find // Finality is actually a slightly older change. I've been wanting to try Caretaker since I realized it protects all permanents, not just creatures and Find // Finality is pretty low value much of the time. Indatha Triome for Swamp improves color consistency at the cost of some potential speed. I'm guessing that the prevalence of land tutors means it's coming in off of one of those more often than played from hand. The cycling is also relevant, largely thanks to the low curve in the deck.

Athreos and Lark are both going in to try and take some of the pressure off of Karador as the main recursion engine. I'm somewhat hesitant to include Lark because I don't really want to be comboing off with this list, but at the end of the day any loops that use it are going to involve at least 4 cards to kill a table and have multiple points of interaction. For cuts, Regna's biggest strength was always being a second copy of Krav, so no great loss there. Nissa is a solid all around card, but doesn't do anything particularly on theme. This change also has the benefit of bringing the curve down slightly and playing better with Teysa Karlov, which is a powerful effect.
