Question: for creatures that are mutated, say I have one creature with one mutated creature below it, if they are blinked, do they come back as one or separated? A friend said it would work like meld, but since this article didn't address this, just asking for clarification.

In the twitch stream it was said that "if the stack moves to a new zone, it moves as a single entity". Based on that it's likely that the creature disappears and reappears as a single body. However, I think we'll need the rules primer for official confirmation.

We'll probably have to wait until the FAQ to see. My guess, is that they become separate cards in exile, then return as two separate creatures (the rules page notes that if a mutate card enters play in any other way, it's just a creature). This is a break from host/augment rules (I believe), but those are silverboarder plus augment can't be on the battlefield on its own.

If a creature enters the battlefield in any other way than being "cast" its as the creature as it is.
The only really strange part is that the spell if it "fizzles" by not having a target anymore will not be put in the graveyard, but instead enter as the creature ... thats very odd ...

It's been done this way before with bestow, it is odd flavor-wise, but they just don't want you getting two-for-one'd.
Companion is an optional ability that gives you a deckbuilding restriction in exchange for the ability to cast it once per game from outside the game. They can also just be normal cards in your deck with no restriction.
Does a creature with my commander mutated under it count as my commander?

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Does a creature with my commander mutated under it count as my commander?
I don't believe so, you are choosing which creature is primary when you Mutate. If your commander is the secondary under another creature, then the game considers the top creature to be on the battlefield with the commander's abilities. It's kinda like when Kestia is Bestowed on another creature.
EDIT: I was def wrong on this, confirmed by Eli Shiffrin that it will count as commander damage.
Also in the draft boosters are these punch-out ability counters.
Called it. Personally, I think this is a bad move on WotC's part and we're going to either end up adding even more (unnecessary) errata in the future one way or the other after this set cycles out or changing a whole bunch of rules on the "non-stackable" abilities. In essence, WotC is literally contradicting themselves in the handling and naming of these "counters". Seriously, WotC could have literally gone with any other naming convention, mark, marker, stele, even souvenir. Literally anything else that doesn't imply that having multiple of these things can cause stacking ability.

A commander rules person is answering stuff on twitter. I don't have the link on hand but they said if your commander is in the pile its counted, its based on the same rules they decided for Brisela, Voice of Nightmares still counting as your commander.

More proof that WotC is slowly pushing the game to be better for digital than paper. They would avoided stuff like this like the plague back-when because of how memory intensive it is. At this point the game should just be an expanding board game primarily played with cards.

It's patently obvious when you consider that +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters are mutually exclusive for the express purpose of streamlining game play. The abrupt reversal of course signifies a major design shift for Wizards, and the underlying motivation is not so subtle...

It was Eli Shiffrin answering the question and was posted on Josh Lee Kwai's Twitter as well. I guess they just went with the simplest solution instead of keeping track of where the commander card is in the pile. Good to know.
Have they come out and addressed how multiple ability counters will stack moving forward?
It's mentioned in the linked article. For the time being, they don't stack if they're not stackable. To put it simply, adding two lifelife abilities (I refuse to call these counters) does not give you double the life nor does adding two flying abilities make it a high flyer. But for the purposes of their pushed garbage, if anything counts multiple stacked abilities then it likely counts them as appropriate.
No. They mention it follows all commander rules. So you cannot bypass.
Except, card 101 will never be an Elemental Otter, which is sad. (admittedly, if the otter were your commander that would be very powerful)

So if may companion gets exiled? I could still cast it again? am i right?
It's kinda meh that Mutate isnt for human creatures
I wonder If R&D is thinking that vehicle and equipment should had those kind of condition like mutate is
