Rulings

2021-04-16
If a commander is exiled this way, its power will be counted along with the other creatures. Once Oversimplify finishes resolving, that commander's owner may move it to the command zone.
2021-04-16
Oversimplify counts the total power of the creatures as they last existed on the battlefield, not the power of those cards in exile.
