Assume I have a creature with undying like Geth's Messenger then in order to clear the board of all creatures, I decide to cast Mutilate with 6 swamps in play. I assume that if all creatures get -6/-6 until end of turn even though the undying triggers it still dies because -6/-6 is still in effect.
Mutilate only affects the creatures that are in play when it resolves. So creatures cast after it or creatures returned to the battlefield with undying would not be affected by it.

So when it says "All Creatures...-1/1 for each Swamp...." it affects the creatures that are currently in play correct?
Mind you Day Of Judgment makes sense because it destroys all creatures then undying would have no problem. I'm just not sure because of the until end of turn clause.

Correct, and this is how any spells that do this work; they create a one-shot effect that only affects creatures that are currently on the battlefield when the spell resolves.
Am I correct?
EDIT: sorry, misread the question.
No, it does not still die after the Undying trigger, as it wasn't in play at the time mutilate resolved.

When in doubt, call a judge.
