It's card type, not creature type. And it discounts if it shares a type, sharing both don't make it happen twice.

Wait ... what? So you're casting all of your regular mana Myr and Origin Spellbombs for free? ... You'll even still be able to cast Myr Galvanizer or Palladium Myr on your 3rd turn provided that you cast a regular mana Myr on your 2nd turn ? idk seems a bit bonkers to me.
Also I find the flavor text amusing :)

It never reduces a cost by more than 2. For it to reduce, say an artifact creature by 4 if you had imprinted an artifact creature, it would need to say "for each type" at the end.

Agreed. The most it can reduce is {2}. The condition to have its cost reduced is that it "shares a type". So, unless it was two different abilities (like Grand Arbiter Augustin IV ) or that it said "for each card type", the condition is either true or false, and thus applies 0 or 1 time.
Another thing is that it checks "card types", not "subtypes" or "creature types" and such. So, if you exile, let's say, a Goblin Creature, a Tribal Enchantment of the same creature type will not have its cost reduced. It's the same thing as Tarmogoyf.
Nonetheless, it's still quite good. Pay 3 mana and exile a card from your hand that you might not need (situationnal card, or a card that is only useful to have once), save over 10 mana later. Usually, cost reduced is either limited to its color or its creature type, but with a card like that, it doesn't matter if the two creatures are totally different. In an enchantment + creature deck, imprinting a ... (see all)

Your assumption is wrong. It can only be for one or the other. Stonybrook Banneret is a fantastic example because it does the exact same thing for wizards and merfolk. who is updating the rulings sucks balls.

@Ztoph: No, because the card specifies that the spell in question is "cast." This doesn't affect the CMC.
This card is fairly amazing. Mana myr made free by imprinting any artifact OR creature? I'm in. Plus, reducing the cost of any spell is a good thing. Mix this with Lodestone Golem and you've got one VERY annoyed opponent.

You've just spent 
and lost two cards to do nothing. And unless you've got gods hand or foolproof combo, future ain't too bright...
Well, imprint probably isn't my thing.
