Cantivore
Creature — Lhurgoyf
Vigilance
Cantivore's power and toughness are each equal to the number of enchantment cards in all graveyards.

Cantivore is >.5 card because it is not a good card - it grows only from the least played card type that is the hardest to get in the graveyard.
Vexing Devil is in another color and allows the opponent choice, and is never a good topdeck, and is easily susceptible to Lightning Bolt.
Talara's Battalion is very hard to play on turn 2 and easily bolt-able. A bad topdeck to boot.
Greenwheel Liberator is good on turn 2 and requires fetchlands to be decent. Bolt-able and a bad topdeck too.
This is not a matter of opinion or feeling. Sure, it is not good in EDH, but there is no place for undercosted vanilla creatures in the format anyways (maybe DOran could play goyf?), just like there is no place for Time Stretch in Legacy for example.
Some things like Lightning Bolt>Shock are not on debate. The same goes for Goyf - it is better than anything else for its cost and the only card in the game to do what it does this well.

If you want a couple more options to give your creatures evasion besides Rancor, consider Launch and/or Gryff's Boon. I don't think Ordeal of Nylea is doing as much as it can for your deck. As is, it seems to me like a slightly worse version of Ordeal of Thassa for what you have going on. Even Ordeal of Heliod could be better in this spot (it's a very powerful effect if you can trigger it whenever you want).
If you want to get more use out of the stuff in your graveyard, maybe consider Nature's Kiss, Cantivore, or Mystic Enforcer. Of your creatures, I think Thaumatog is the weakest one, though I understand why it's in the deck.
If you want to get silly with a big finish, maybe consider Replenish/Open the Vaults as a 1-2 of.
