TL;DR: A God tribal deck that makes a hard to deal with board, extremely complicated board state during late game, and then very big creatures to win. (you WILL miss triggers)

To start, you'll want to play ramping rocks as quickly as possible, and cast things like Herald's Horn + Urza's Incubator to reduce the cost of the commander, and all the God's in the deck. Other creature ramp includes Kethis, the Hidden Hand, Nylea, Keen-Eyed and Herald of the Pantheon + Starfield Mystic . With only a few of these pieces on the board, you can quickly start casting God's for one mana or less. It is important to also know when to cast Mirari's Wake, as that will immediately make you a target. Something slower like using Karametra, God of Harvests *f-etch* to put lands into play might be more subtle, but just as powerful. Don't ever pass up hands that have things like Fellwar Stone or Font of Fertility unless there aren't nearly enough lands to cast them.

Your upkeep and end of turn phases will rapidly get VERY complicated with enough Gods on the field, and it will be very important to keep track of what God's trigger when during every turn. As well, several cards have "When you cast a creature" written on them, like God-Eternal Oketra, Karametra, God of Harvests *f-etch* and a few others.

For value and card draw, there are a few card combos to keep and eye out for. Primarily, Thassa, God of the Sea allows you to scry at your upkeep, and should NOT be underrated how powerful this is. Ephara, God of the Polis + The Locust God will give you insane value, allowing you to draw during EVERY player's upkeep. To search up a God from your library, Call to the Kindred lets you search the top five of your library and put a God into play for FREE, while Heroes' Podium and Kamahl's Druidic Vow lets you look at the top X cards of your library for a legendary creature (all Gods are legendary) to put into your hand. And finally, Erebos, Bleak-Hearted + The Scorpion God combo ESPECIALLY well, and with Locust God on the field, you can very quickly start drawing three cards per activation of Erebos. If things are getting thrown into your grave yard, Eidolon of Blossoms + Pharika, God of Affliction allows you to draw cards for 2 mana, as long as you have a creature to exile from your graveyard. (And don't forget to flash Dictate of Kruphix in on your opponents endstep)

One problem with this deck, is 2/3'rds of the creatures are enchantments unless you reach devotion, and while it keeps your board safer for longer, it makes it hard to attack or block during combat (The Eternals and Raze-Boar are the only five who have no restrictions on combat). Starfield of Nyx can force your Enchantment Gods to become creatures, but most of them will be at lower power and toughness.

For winning strategies, it all depends on what you have on board. Since the deck has little tutoring ability, sometimes you have to improvise. There are three cheap wrath type spells in the deck that let you destroy your opponents board, while keeping all of your indestructible creatures. But for even more fun, casting God-Eternal Rhonas + Xenagos, God of Revels out can make you super threatening in a single turn, even more so with a Dictate of the Twin Gods or using Thassa to make your commander unblockable. Heroe's Podium will buff your creatures through the ceiling if all else fails, and against mill decks, a Primevals' Glorious Rebirth puts nearly your entire graveyard onto the field.

This deck has a few MASSIVE weaknesses however. There are no counter spells, and I have had serious trouble squeezing much more than two board interaction spells into here. Calix, Destiny's Hand allows you to shut down an enemy commander or a threat while searching the top four of your library for a God, and Heliod's Intervention is a cheap instant to blow up things you don't like, or gain life if things look bleak. To fix this, if you were to build the deck, I would recommend switching out the scry temples for fetch lands, a flavor choice I made to include them.

Let me know how you would improve this, God tribal has a hard time getting to a 7/10, and this pushes the high end of 6 most days, but it's able to punch WELL above its weight due to it being unorthodox to deal with. (Like, who is ACTUALLY running Shadow Spear just INCASE someone starts casting all the gods?)
