MTGO allows {rancor} in pauper.  However, the paper rules are silent on this topic.  I'd check the event specific rules.  If it's just amongst friends, talk about it.

Doesn't it go by whatever it was originally printed as?

Casual paper Pauper is not sanctioned by DCI or Wizards and you can play with whatever you want as long as it is a common or was a common at one point on paper.

Too many fetches IMO. You don't want 12 tap lands you want to hit the t1 mystic/whatever.

I feel like you need another big creature. Quite like {Ulamog's Crusher}.

{Messenger's Speed} seems pretty bad.

{Zektar Shrine Expedition} doesn't feel worth it.

Suggestions,

{Lightning Bolt} if you're allowed. 

{Giant Growth} is solid in this format.

{Dragon Mantel} could be good.

The fetches were mainly for the zektar shrine expedition. I just have a feeling in such a limited format that a 7/1 hasty trample would be good every other turn especially being able to Titans strength if.. :/

Bolt was a common, I feel like you need it because otherwise you'll just lose to that dumb ass familiar deck.
