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.
Seems pretty good. One of the most achievable mutate cards to go off with. Mutate this for 4, give a creature some good abilities and grab, say, a Teferi, Time Raveler sounds like something you might see in standard.

Not sure I follow, based on a quick Wikipedia search Rodan is a Pteradon and based on the Planeswalker's guide Vadrok is a flying dinosaur monster so this seems perfectly aligned?

Is it naive to hope that these are also going to be in the c20 decks, since presumably they will have 2-3 wedge legends in each deck and not just the "face" legend?

His point was that this legend has the "cat" creature type, so the special box topper Rodan was essentially turned into a cat since it has to actually be this card.

Man, that'll teach me to RTFC (will it though? I'm doubtful). That's so weird... but I guess it goes right in line with the rest of Ikoria madness. Somehow I assumed the Apex legends of each Clade would belong only to that Clade. Whoops, my bad. Love it.
damn.... this card does scare me, mainly because it DOESN'T exile stuff it casts from the graveyard...
and the synergies with stuff like Ancestral Vision and friends is pretty serious.
I mean... if we do have enough mutate creatures that will do good in a spellslinger deck in any format, this thing will find a way to break something.

You'd have to mutate at least several turns in a row, or more than once in a single turn for this to be super impactful. You're right that there are 2 very scary adjacent elements there - the presence of "without paying it's mana cost" and the lack of an exile clause. But let's talk about magical christmas land in a broad pool for a second.
Let's say you get a ritual and ancestral recall in the graveyard on T2 (doesn't really matter how). And let's say you've got the enabler on the table (that little frog) by the end of T2. On T3 you get to mutate the frog into the cat dragon, draw a card and discard a card. That cost you WRR but netted you RRR from a free ritual. So let's use a land to do it again, with the second copy in our hand. Now we can draw 4 cards, discard a card and get RRR. Now, the only thing we can maybe do with that to move forwards is use Manamorphose to wash some of that mana and draw a card. Let's make 1GG from RRR and mutate the Gem Destroyer in, so now our mega monster is Frog, Cat DRagon, Cat Dragon, Lizard. Storm count is quite high and we've drawn a bunch of cards.
But, you know what does this same job better? the existing storm deck, because they have more redundancy and less variance. It's a hella fun thing to pull off and I'd love to see it happen, but Monster Storm seems unlikely to shake up older formats and we don't have the problem cards (currently) in standard/brawl.
The big issue with this card imo is the double red in the mutate. Really wish it were double blue or double white. The best targets for this in Standard are Teferi and Narset. If it were double blue or double white you could keep this in blue white control and just play for the mutate cost. The mutate cost forces you into Jeskai which is unfortunate
Gonna be an awesome EDH card.

Basically, what does "Whenever this creature mutates" actually mean?

Ugh, I actually have to go read their website!?

It's actually not a horrible read and fairly short but yw.
