Idk if this is good if it works, even with my group not being even '75%,' but I want to find out if I could do this.
Could I take Kruphix, God of Horizons, and then use Mind Bend or similar to make it say 'green and green,' would my green creatures count twice, and I could focus on green 'dorks' and blue draws or whatever?
Also, is Kruphix's last ability forever or is there like an 'until end of turn' implied? I think it would say it, but just to be safe.

No, each mana symbol counts only once for devotion, even if it has "both" colors, such as Simic Guildmage.
700.5. A player’s devotion to [color] is equal to the number of mana symbols of that color among the
mana costs of permanents that player controls. A player’s devotion to [color 1] and [color 2] is
equal to the number of mana symbols among the mana costs of permanents that player controls that
are [color 1], [color 2], or both colors.

* Your devotion to two colors is equal to the number of mana symbols that are the first color, the second color, or both colors among the mana costs of permanents you control. Specifically, a hybrid mana symbol counts only once toward your devotion to its two colors. For example, if the only nonland permanents you control are Pharika, God of Affliction and Golgari Guildmage (whose mana cost is (B/G)(B/G)), your devotion to black and green is four.

It's only while it's on the battlefield, like other static abilities (such as "You have no maximum hand size." or Pin to the Earth's "Enchanted creature gets -6/-0.").
604.2. Static abilities create continuous effects, some of which are prevention effects or replacement
effects. These effects are active as long as the permanent with the ability remains on the battlefield
and has the ability, or as long as the object with the ability remains in the appropriate zone, as
described in rule 113.6.
