Arcane Signet
If your commander is a card that has no colors in its color identity, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana. It doesn't produce {C}.
If you have two commanders, the ability adds one mana of any color in their combined color identities.
If you don't have a commander, Arcane Signet's ability produces no mana.
Escape to the Wilds
Casting an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't cast it multiple times.
Escape to the Wilds doesn't change when you can play the exiled cards. For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty. If you exile a land card, you can play it only during your main phase and only if you have an available land play remaining.
The additional land that you play doesn't have to be from among the exiled cards.
If you don't play a card exiled this way, it remains in exile.
Titanic Ultimatum
If a creature you control already has lifelink, Titanic Ultimatum will give it a second instance of lifelink; however, multiple instances of lifelink on the same creature are redundant. You still only gain life equal to the amount of damage dealt, regardless of how many instances of lifelink the creature has.
Multiple instances of first strike and trample are redundant.
The set of creatures affected is fixed as Titanic Ultimatum resolves.
