Saute

Saut deals 3 1/2 damage to target creature or player.

In regular Magic, any effect that might result in a fractional result will specifically tell you which way to round, so there's no default rule for it.
In Un-Magic, you're encouraged to be a little creative with interpretations where the rules aren't clear and you're able to come up with something fun that makes sense and is agreeable to each player. The fractions in Unhinged were meant to just interact with life totals and P/T, and other things weren't strictly defined. For Protean Hydra, maybe you could turn one of the +1/+1 counters into a +1/+0 or +0/+1 counter. For Mindcrank, maybe one of the cards could be simultaneously in the graveyard and the library until it moves somewhere else (like on Yet Another Aether Vortex or Masterful Ninja).
Or, to keep it simple, you could just come to an agreement with the other players on a fixed rounding convention for Saute when dealing with odd interactions like this.

If I use a card like Saute targeting a planeswalker or battle, or a creature like Protean Hydra, does it remove half a counter from them, or is there a rule I'm not sure of that rounds the damage in one direction for the replacement effects? I'm aware that in most cases it won't matter, but there's fringe interactions that I will need to know since most people don't have decks that deal with damage in increments of 1/2.
Somewhat related, if an effect turns the damage dealt into mill (like Mindcrank), would the opponent mill 3 or 4 cards if hit with Saute?

Ulamog

Change commander to Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. He costs less for one, and when he attacks the opponent exiles a 5th of their deck.
Eldrazi Conscription with the right ramp you can attach to Ulamog or Kozilek, preferably Ulamog to get annihilator 4 and annihilator 2 from Eldrazi Conscription (I hope that's how it works) or ceaseless hunger to ruin enemy plans.
Maybe get Ugin, the Spirit Dragon as he's colorless and can be a huge nuisance to the enemy, especially his -X.
Blightsteel Colossus with Whispersilk Cloak, instant win right there. And Swiftfoot Boots if needed. (Minimum 15 mana if Blightsteel Colossus isn't on the battlefield yet)
Get both Kozileks in there, and for a casual format with friends get Emrakul, the Aeons Torn to make your friends hate you.
Either Karn could work as well. (More so Karn Liberated)
In conclusion, change commander, develop new strategy, and be sure to- OH, and Quietus Spike. My friend uses it all the time in his commander deck, and he ALWAYS gets it in every starting hand, without stacking. Attach that onto Eldrazi Mimic on early turns to wipe your enemy's health. Prioritize lower mana cost ramp like Sol Ring, and as a joke for casual play, Black Lotus, Mox Gems (Mox Lotus especially), and obviously, Saute, because we all like some roasted hobgoblin
