How do the new flip walkers interact with Mutate (Ex: Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student Flip and Sea-Dasher Octopus)?
Asked by skoobysnackz 1 month ago
If I mutate the Sea-Dasher Octopus over Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student and then draw three cards in a turn will the tamiyo component flip to be a planeswalker? Would the octopus component keep it as a creature as well? If the card is a planeswalker and a creature how would combat damage affect the planeswalker part if its used to block or gets blocked? Could the planeswalker survive being delt 2 damage if that would kill the creature?

So they would come back as separate permanents, but would Tamiyo still transform?

Yes, she would. They pile would get exiled by Tamiyo's ability. She'll be returned as a planeswalker, and each mutation would be returned as a creature.

Sea-Dasher Octopus will not return to the battlefield and will remain in exile. The transform effect will try to return Sea-Dasher Octopus to the battlefield transformed, but since it is a single-face card it cannot and will leave it in exile.

Neotrup's answer is correct due to the following rule (specifically, the second sentence highlighted below in bold). I have changed the "Accepted answer" to reflect this.
712.14a If a spell or ability puts a transforming double-faced card onto the battlefield “transformed” or “converted,” it enters the battlefield with its back face up. If a player is instructed to put a card that isn’t a transforming double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed or converted, that card stays in its current zone.

If you flicker a mutate pile, each card in it will return as a seperate creature.
I think this will answer all follow-up questions ;)
