• If I play Mimic Gel copying a Crash Muldoon (WC 327) will Mimic Gel enter play ready, and can I use the Deploy ability to have Mimic Gel enter play anywhere in my battleline?
  Yes to both. Mimic Gel enters play as a copy of the chosen card, and both Deploy and Crash Muldoon’s “enters play ready” ability take effect as the card enters play, so Mimic Gel will also copy these effects.

Commentary

Much of how Mimic Gel interacts can be extrapolated from FFG's clarifications of Mimicry:

• For the purposes of the Rule of Six, you are considered to have played the card the Mimic Gel has copied.
• If you copy Com. Officer Kirby, then attaching Kirby’s Blaster to the Mimic Gel of Kirby would resolve the Blaster's attach ability.
• If you copy an Omega card, you would play the card, resolve any pending abilities or effects, and then proceed to the next game step.
