Thanks for clarifying.
I stand corrected. I suppose "most useful" was not a useful superlative. It's perhaps the most useful potion outside of a combat situation. I was thrown off by Cure mutation's value in stores. (Though I know store value is not always related to a measure of usefulness.) And by the fact that the remove mutation effect is not so easily or safely duplicated outside of god abilities. All the potions named have rough analogues in items or other consumables. Early on, I suppose I'd be happier to find a potion of speed than I would be to find a potion of cure mutation. But once I have a another source of haste, cure mutation becomes more useful, especially if no amulet of resist mutation has shown up yet.

OK. Maybe this is a good player versus bad player thing. Bad players play poorly and get mutated and can't deal it and need cure mutation. Good player just ignore mutations and win. I get mutated by the extended game by most games that I get there.
One thing is for sure: cute mutation is rarer than most other potions. There are probably at least 12 times more potions of curing generated than there are potions of cure mutation generated. In that sense, finding a potion of cure mutation might be more exciting than finding a potion of speed. That's because you'll probably find another potion of speed soon, but you might not ever find another potion of cure mutation.
Cute mutation is also great for playing mutation roulette. If you happen to find fulsome early, you can often get 3+ stellar mutations by the endgame. Occasionally you get blurry vision or berserkitis instead. Cure mutation valuable insurance policy against being stuck with a bad spin.
