Exile all creatures. Each player creates a 0/0 green and blue Fractal creature token and puts a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the total power of creatures they controlled that were exiled this way.
"A fine example of addition by subtraction."

Rulings
- 2021-04-16 · wotc — Oversimplify counts the total power of the creatures as they last existed on the battlefield, not the power of those cards in exile.
- 2021-04-16 · wotc — 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.
