A land card can be played only as a land (see also C.R. 305.9). The reminder text on Muldrotha, however, suggests that you choose one of the card's permanent types (either land or creature) as you play Dryad Arbor. (Whether the comprehensive rules will support the preceding sentence remains to be seen, since this is a novel game mechanic.)

A similar question I asked was solved involving Lotus Bloom. Since Bloom doesn't have a cost I can't cast it from the yard. Maybe the same is true for DA. Not positive though
That's a different issue, nonexiting costs can't be paid. The problem with Dryad Arbor, however, is, that it is a land card, and land cards can only be played as lands. Muldrotha does permit the playing of lands from the graveyard, though, by using the verb "play" instead of "cast", which means "play" for land cards and "cast" for nonland cards. But, though you have to play DA as a land, that does not nessessarily mean, that it has to count toward the "land" card played via Muldrotha. It is after all a creature card and you "play" it. We simply don't have a definte answer for that particular issue in the CR yet.
You can never "cast" it, so you always have to use a land drop to "play" it.

The same issue for Dryad Arbor would also be true for Artifact lands.
Unless you have something that allows you to play multiple lands a turn, it doesnt do anything anyway, as you are only allowed to "play" 1 land and that rule would still stand no matter what.
As the reminder text implies you simply choose "creature" as the type and play the land as you are allowed to play a land.
So if you could play multiple lands, you could go with land, land-creature, artifact-land.
So far we dont have enchantment-land and no planeswalker-land and tribal is not a permanent type.

The "choosing" part is true for all the cards that involve different types, but a clear ruling is still only going to happen if the card is released.
Can I play Dryad Arbor from my graveyard as a creature or only as a land?
Thanks
