So, Arcane Adaptation can add creature types to all your creatures... I don't know if this is the right forum, but what happens if you name Mountains or something, have Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and play something like Hordeling Outburst?
Does Valakut mean specifically Mountain Lands, or does it mean any permanent with the subtype 'Mountain'? This probably works with other cards as well, like card:Engulf the Shores if you play something like Elspeth, Sun's Champion. Although Engulf does the exact opposite of what you want to be doing.
Nissa, Who Shakes the World? There might be some potential.

Aight, looked up rulings: You have to choose an existing creature type... so you can choose Forest. Dryad Arbor. Which means it does work with Nissa, if you have something like Cryptolith Rite or just use mana dorks.
Wait, nevermind. Looked up another ruling.... this makes me sad. Although casual play like your friendly kitchen table could definitely interpret as 'Mountain can be a creature type', because your friends are probably fine with letting you name 'doofenschmirtz'.

Mountains are not a creature type, it is a land type. So you cannot choose mountains for a creature type.
