If you have a card that is reprinted in M13 but your card is actually from M11 is it legal to play? Not sure if you have to go out and find the M13 printing or not.
Thank you for the answer. I was wondering how "hard core" they would be at an event. This will help me salvage the cards I have to try and do more then play at home. Now to build a decent but affordable deck for FNM. The budget boards here are fantastic.
along that note, Is rancor already legal online? Or do I have to wait for jul 30th
You have to wait until the release weekend for M13.
Starting with the next block though, things online will be sped up, so that the release weekend online will only be two weeks after the paper release weekend.
I have seen a few tourny vids with a card in standard written in French were as the rest of his deck was English. Would seem as long as your opponent understands what it does then thats fine to.
Actually, the judge should have an oracle version of any relevant card with him. Sometimes, cards are written in english, but you still don't understand what they do or what the card fully implies (Illusionary Mask).
So yeah, you can play foreign cards all you want.. If your opponent doesn't know the cards, he can ask a judge what it does.
from Tournament Rules section 6.1:
"A card may only be used in a particular format if the card is from a set that is legal in that format or has the same name."
Name, not edition, determines legality so long as section 3.3 is met:
Players may use any Authorized Game Cards from Magic: The Gathering expansions, core sets, special sets, supplements, and promotional printings. Authorized Game Cards are cards that, unaltered, meet the following conditions:
• The card is genuine and published by Wizards of the Coast
• The card has a standard Magic back or is a double-faced card.
• The card does not have squared corners.
• The card has black or white borders.
• The card is not a token card.
• The card is not damaged or modified in a way that might make it marked.
• The card is otherwise legal for the tournament as defined by the format.
• The card is a proxy issued by the judge of a tournament (see section 3.4 for rules about proxies).

Rancor has been playable online in standard since the pre-release. You don't have to wait for the release.
