I have been making a druid deck recently and need clarification on the mechanics of mutation. According to the wiki, improved mutation adds 0-4 atk and health to creatures like a mini chaos power. Most of the time, this seems to be true. Whenever I mutate a ball lightning, mutants generally have 6+ atk. However, when I mutated a rol once, I somehow managed to get a 7 atk dragon, which is more than 4+ the atk of a rol. Is the 0-4 rule true, or is it a 'most of the time' rule with a small chance of getting a 4+ increase in stats?

The 0-4 damage boost only applies to the creature resulting from the mutation in comparison to its original stats.  So for example, if you Mutated your RoL into a Crimson Dragon then the Crimson Dragon would have the potential to be created with 12-16 attack.  It is not simply a Chaos Power-like bonus for your original creature, but rather for the new Mutant creature.

it's the 0-4 of the new creature.

in other words, that time you got the 7 atk dragon was actually terrible luck, since the only way that would happen would be to get the gravity dragon with +0 bonus atk.

Edit: well, I guess just the +0 bonus atk part was terrible.  You could have gotten worse by mutating into a warden or something.
