Maelstrom Colossus

Artifact Creature — Golem

Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order.)

If you're only going to play 19 lands then I think it'd be safer to lean more on the 1-cost landcyclers, Troll of Khazad-dum and Generous Ent, than the 2-cost ones. It's really important for you to be able to make the step from 1 to 2 so you can start casting Grapple with the Past, Malevolent Rumble etc. and make it to 3 to get your game plan started for real.

I see you have Maul Splicer in your maybeboard, I highly recommend a couple of these as just a good Pauper Tron piece (in my probably outdated opinion, having not played the deck for many years) as well as a good friend to Maelstrom Colossus for the trample.

I think Prophetic Prism was recently unbanned, so you can replace Energy Refractor and find space for a second copy as well.

That's great, e wit would be a good addition too - very versatile card.

To link cards, write its name in nested brackets like this:

[[Eternal Witness]]

I personally don't make decks with big beaters so I'm not well versed in what the best value will be for your creatures. With that disclaimer out of the way, I'll give my 2 cents anyway :p

I'd suggest examining these cards to see if you can replace them with cheaper CMC or more synergistic alternatives:
Portal to Phyrexia
Maelstrom Colossus
Koma, Cosmos Serpent
Basically, I'd examine any spell CMC 6 or higher personally, I find once you get into that range each card should be something you enjoy and can't replace.

You may like these cards:
Etherium-Horn Sorcerer
Beast Whisperer
Garruk's Uprising (specifically over Temur Ascendancy)

If you're not going infinite combos, I'd take out Ancestral Statue, since it's a one-card infinite combo with your commander. I stopped running it in my Animar deck because it feels so cheap.

The biggest thing I see is you need like 10 more land, since you always want to hit Animar mana. I'd also look into more creature cascaders instead of non-creatures, as creatures will get your Animar discount. Apex Devastator, Maelstrom Colossus, Etali, Primal Conqueror  Flip, and Etali, Primal Storm will add a lot of cascade power.

You need to drop at least two of the crappier cascaders for lands. I get that you have the Cauldron so you get to keep playing them, but it's not a good idea to have less than 37 of them in a mana hungry deck. As for which to cut, I'd suggest Annoyed Altisaur , Maelstrom Colossus , and/or Natural Reclamation . I'd also recommend the replacing lands be ones with sac abilities so you can make the most of your ability to play lands from the yard. You may also wanna put more ways than to put lands in yards other than the 3 self-sac'ers and the 2 spell options.

On another note I'd recommend putting Cavalier of Flame in for the communal "haste breath" and possibly Cavalier of Thorns . Also, why do you take E Wit out?

Maelstrom Colossus seems like a really great card for you.

Perilous Myr is pretty good value and can add some much needed removal for your deck.

Terrarion and Guild Globe seem like better choices than some of the "eggs" you are currently using.

Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty

getting lucky off the back of Maelstrom Colossus and Annoyed Altisaur with Imoti in play makes for some of the most explosive turns I have ever seen in pauper edh. Incredibly fun.
