Thank you. sorry Im new to Planeswalker programming etc.
A couple of notes, some pieces need rewording because deck is NEVER used on a card. It's always library. Spell is only used when referring to a card that is in the process of resolving, otherwise it's a permanent/creature/... or a card.
Second, planeswalkers always have part of their name as their subtype. This is because of the planeswalker uniqueness rule, which checks the subtype. This would mean that if you gave it the subtype Beast, then if there was another Beast planeswalker on the battlefield, even though that other one might not be Mul Daya, one would be sacrificed. The subtype should be either Mul or Daya. (Mul gets my vote, because almost every planeswalker gets the first word of its name, but there are one or two exceptions.)
Aside from those, its actually not too difficult to make a planeswalker. You basically take another planeswalker, and then you replace the abilities with the ones you want it to have. To place where a custom planeswalker gets difficult is that when you distribute it, you'll need to include the D14_PLW.LOL file and another file which has a list of planeswalker subtypes. That's not really difficult, but since it's a custom card, it won't be added to the CW or the official Planeswalker pool.
Mul Daya

Ability: Eldrazi spells and Green spells you cast cost
less to cast.

and put it into your hand where
X equal to the number of loyalty counters on Mul Daya. (
wording taken from Gideon, Champion of Justice.)
+1: You may play an additional land this turn.
-8: Search your library for a green permanent card and put it onto the battlefield under your control. Shuffle your library.
-10: Search your library for an Eldrazi creature and put it onto the Battlefield under your control. Shuffle your library.
I would also suggest making the Eldrazi card referenced "colorless Eldrazi" like most other cards do (
Eye of Ugin). I personally don't mind that it might be a little overpowered, but I just want to make sure you realize it might be. Due to the passive cost reduction and the extra lands, the following scenario could be easily achieved.
Turn 4: Play
Forest. Play Mul Daya. Activate ability 2: Play
Forest.
Turn 5: Play
Forest. Activate ability 2: Play
Forest. Tap 7 forests, play
Artisan of Kozilek.
Now artisan of Kozilek would be less likely than some expensive, powerful green card, but a 4 turn ramp from one card (after one turn of being in play) might be a little overpowered for a card that only costs 4. To make it balanced, I'd say make it cost 5 or 6. As I said, that doesn't actually bother me and is completely up to you. I'm just pointing it out in case you hadn't considered it. Anyway, let me know what you decide, and I'll see about getting it coded if no one else does. Note that I'm currently working on manifest and won't be coding anything else until that's done.
EDIT: You can absolutely leave the colorless bit out of the Eldrazi references. I just don't know if you intend for it to be used only for the big eldrazi, or also for the Eldrazi Drones and whatnot.
