Oliphaunt or Troll of Khazad-dum could be a nice way to help fix your mana(probably alongside a single copy of the duals such as Geothermal Bog) but also you can go turn one: cycle into turn two:Exhume without needing to find faithless or study. Foil is also funny imo for reanimator strategies as you can pitch your big creature as the 2nd card. Finally, you may be purposefully avoiding him but Ulamog's Crusher is probably the best reanimation target in pauper and with its ability to destroy lands can lock opponents out of the game if you can get it in the first couple turns of the game.

  1. Your deck should play more win conditions. If your opponent doesn't play creatures, you effectively have only Urabrask's Forge to win, and 5 of your creatures.
  2. You should play more creatures on your own. After flipping Tarrian's Journal  Flip, you can play creature cards from your graveyard, which is powerfull... but there are nearly none in your deck! Same problem with Dross Skullbomb.
  3. Your deck is almost Standard legal. Replace Improvised Club and Grima Wormtongue with some combination of Callous Sell-Sword, Dreg Recycler, Acolyte of Aclazotz or Ayara, Widow of the Realm  Flip and it will be!
  4. Alternatively, if you don't care about Standard legality and are ok with playing Lord of the Rings cards, replace 2 Evolving Wilds and 3 Crystal Grotto with 2 Troll of Khazad-dum, 2 Oliphaunt and 1 Geothermal Bog. That way you'll have 4 more creatures to win. In your early turns, just cycle them to get lands, and in your late game you can play them with The Tomb of Aclazotz  Flip.

I have some ideas for cards that are budget friendly and can give you some interaction when you don't have the combo ready. For starters, have you considered Oliphaunt and Generous Ent as fetchable 6 drops that can also help you hit your land drops? Might be good have for the games when opponents have tons of removal so that you can keep progressing your board without elves.

A second/third card I will suggest is Cathartic Pyre as it gives you a choice of defense, draw, or a potential way to start your combo. It also has fringe benefits of being a suprise graveyard filler against Living End decks (as does the landcyclers).

For the sideboard, I am going to suggest dropping the nourish and the nature's spiral. In their place, I suggest copies of Evolution Charm and maybe Gut Shot as another way to instant start your combo. I've never been a big fan of lifegain since all it does normally is just make you lose slower. It's better to kill their creatures than take damage from them over several turns, and while you do have fog it suffers from the same problems in not progressing your plan or stopping theirs.

Anyhow, these are just some basic thoughts from me and I hope they help. I've been trying to figure out a way to make Marauding Raptor combo myself.
