So title already tells it.
i am a prould Selesnya-member & want to discuss what our Godess will be or what youd like her to be.
Let me start with my wish:
Karametra, God of Plenty 2GW (M)
Indestructible
As long as your Devotion to green & or white is less than 5, Karametra isnt a creature.
Whenever you cast green or white creature-spell, you may draw a Card. GWTap a creature you control; Put a 1/1 green saproling creature-token into Play, put a 1/1 Counter on up to 1 target creature & gain 1 life.
"green & or white".
Which one is it?
'and' seems to imply Karametra becomes a creature if you archieve GGWWW.
'or' sounds like it becomes a creature only when you reach GGGGG + WWWWW.
Given that it gives GW by itself, I think I'd go with 'and' - '6'. So, you'd need 4 extra (like the other gods.)

As long as your Devotion to is less than 5, Karametra isnt a creature.
Whenever you gain life you may distribute that many +1/+1 counters among creatures you control.

Yeah that's the goddess of the Conclave yeah
Bro, i think you mixed up "Enchantment" with "Artifact"
& your Karametra has no activated ability.
Though i really like your triggered abiity.
But honestly . . . 7 Mana ??
i really doubt the remaining gods will cost more than the Main 5 gods.
But then again i really do praise your idea with Karametras P/T depending on her Devotion
Karametra, Goddess of Procreation 1GW
Legendary Enchantment Creature - God
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to green or to white is less than three, ~ is not a creature.
Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control, you may gain 1 life. 2GW: Put a +1/+1 counter on another target creature.
I like lord of atlantis' design a lot, though I think it's more likely that it's devotion white and green each need to be three. Otherwise, a single double colored card of either color turns them on, which seems a tad too easy.

It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.

that's exactly what it means. if either devotion is less than three, it's not a creature. IOW both devotion must be 3 or greater.
1) "As long as your devotion to green or (to) white is less than X" means that if regardless of the number of white mana symbols there are among permanents you control, if there are less than X green mana symbols among permanents you control, it won't be a creature, and vice-versa. The sentence asks both "Is your devotion to green less than X?" and "Is your devotion to white less than X?" and if at least one of them are true, then the permanent isn't a creature.
2) "As long as your devotion to green and to white are less than X" asks "Is your devotion to green less than X?" and "Is your devotion to white less than X?" and if both are true, then the permanent isn't a creature.
3) "As long as your devotion to green and white is less than X" only counts the number of mana symbols that are green and white -- namely, only (G/W). That's the only mana symbol (besides tri-brid ones) that is both green and white.
4) "As long as your total devotion to green and to white is less than X" totals up your devotion to green and devotion to white, and if the sum of those two devotions is less than X, then the permanent isn't a creature.
I also agree with MOON-E that wording 1 is the best, although it's extremely unintuitive and confusing to some.

For flavor and power level reasons, doing a devotion mechanic like Heliod should require a higher number.
Lesser gods don't show themselves as often so it should be harder to make them a creature.
Allowing 2-color devotion makes it a LOT easier to turn on anyway. You get to use every colored permanent in a 2-color deck and you get the flexibility of using two colors rather than one.
I'd expect the devotion threshold to be 7-8. Slightly smaller bodies than the first five and slightly more relevant abilities as enchantments.

And given G/W options to get this our 4-5th turn I think 7 mana is about right six might be ok.

My bad, I was thinking of a different wording from a previous thread. Yeah, your wording is what I would go with.
