Dryad Arbor is being shown as illegal when in a naya deck with Zirda, the Dawnwaker as the companion.

I double checked to make sure, and the artifact part doesn't affect summoning sickness. SS is only relevant to creatures, and it applies to all creatures without haste. Artifact creatures, enchantment creatures, land creatures (thanks Dryad Arbor), all affected by summoning sickness.

Very fun deck, I’m teaching some friends how to play magic and this deck is the highlight of game night. They love playing and getting close to beating this deck more than they talk about my competitve modern decks like BW midrange, UR Prowess, and neobrand.
Personally, I run a playset of Windswept Heath and a couple copies of other fetch lands that can pull forests to thin the deck out in hopes I don’t pull a land from the top when I want anything other than a forest. They also have the added benefit of fetching a Dryad Arbor during an opponents turn to avoid summoning sickness or to chump in a blocker. I also run 2 copies of Fog instead of Primal Command because sometimes I need the extra turn.

All of Glacial Chasm's other abilities get turned off and Dryad Arbor stays alive as a 1/1 that taps for .
The reason Blood Moon's type-changing effect does so many other things (including some things you might not expect) is because of a special rule it interacts with. If an effect sets a land to a specific basic subtype but does NOT say "in addition to its other types", then the land gains the mana ability for that basic subtype, loses its other land subtypes (if any) along with any mana abilities given by those subtypes and also loses any abilities in its printed rules text.
For Glacial Chasm, this means it loses its ETB, its cumulative upkeep ability and its static abilities about attacking and damage. It gains the Mountain subtype (it doesn't gain the Basic supertype) and it gains the ability to tap for . For Dryad Arbor, being a creature isn't an ability, it's just one of its types. It stays a 1/1 Dryad creature (its creature subtype is unaffected), it loses the Forest subtype and the ability to tap for and gains the Mountain subtype and the ability to tap for .
305.7. If an effect sets a land’s subtype to one or more of the basic land types, the land no longer has its old land type. It loses all abilities generated from its rules text, its old land types, and any copiable effects affecting that land, and it gains the appropriate mana ability for each new basic land type. Note that this doesn’t remove any abilities that were granted to the land by other effects. Setting a land’s subtype doesn’t add or remove any card types (such as creature) or supertypes (such as basic, legendary, and snow) the land may have. If a land gains one or more land types in addition to its own, it keeps its land types and rules text, and it gains the new land types and mana abilities.

Blood Moon effect removes the etb of Glacial Chasm this I understand, but going further into it does it remove the static effect as well? In a similar dive does BM destroy/kill Dryad Arbor

Tsukimi didn't leave a challenge, so I'll do the previous again.
Church, Sematary Cat
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Zombie Cat
Church is as long as there are less than five creatures in your graveyard, Church, Sematary Cat isn't a creature.
Whenever Church, Sematary Cat deals combat damage to a player, return target creature with power less than Church, Sematary Cat from your graveyard to the battlefield.
2/2
Next: A non-creature land with a mana cost (So it cannot be a land creature like Dryad Arbor and it must have a CMC greater than 0)

I too enjoy OG land tech. You have Yavimaya and Urborg for that though along with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.
Glacierwood Siege an additional "Worlds" effect
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx > Bloom Tender
If you go the Nykthos route Minamo, School at Water's Edge plus the easy Archelos activation.
I see Green Sun's Zenith and a juicy Vorinclex target. Would Dryad Arbor + Natural Order be useful here?
In my land based strategies I always try to squeeze in Unwind + Rewind for the value.
P.S. Squandered Resources is the greatest card in the entire card pool. Always enjoy seeing it in a deck.
