Rulings
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.
Oversimplify counts the total power of the creatures as they last existed on the battlefield, not the power of those cards in exile.
