Not to start a riot or step on any toes... But are all God's not false? Now as for protecting yourself, all the vows are great outside of the black as intimidate on a 5 color creature is really poor.
After that I really like cards like Collective Restraint and since I imagine you'll be running a enchantment theme Sphere of Safety. You can also pay cards like Rule of Law naming Karona. Also as long as you have devotion on one the gods you have an indestructible blocker. And with her not having trample you're fairly safe.
Sorry for bringing this topic back from the grave but I could use some help again. Child of Alara is my general and I especially love sacrificing her to my Diamond Valley to add salt in the wound. But a problem I'm having is getting to devotion and keeping it. I need more functional permanents to help this deck out and preferably those with at least 2 mana symbols (same or different, I don't care). Thanks
Maelstrom Nexus is always nice in 5c. Sliver Hivelord is a good indestructible beater with 5 symbols. The various Myojin are expensive, but indestructible sources of 3x devotion each.
I second Maelstrom Nexus, and would like to throw in the Maelstrom Archangel as well. Really helps if you get color screwed/have one B source and Mogis, Pharika, and Phenax in your hand.

I love the idea of the false god being the god of the gods.
Initially I did also but after further consideration, It is difficult to do 2 things this deck would need to do successfully which would be focus on getting devotion and focus on making her a non-threat. Or I could just simply keep her in the command zone but who wants to do that? So I'd rather not play a card that I then have to deal with myself and instead load up on things to help me get devotion.

Run Sliver Queen and Sliver hivelord. While they are somewhat Tribal, bith are really good by themsleves. You can use queen to get tokens for god stuff, Hivelord give these token and your queen indest, plus that is 2 devotion of each color. progenitus should be your genera as that is another additional 2 for devotion, and your gods cost mana rounding out devotion easily.

Multani, Maro-Sorcerer - Group Hug
Aurelia, the Warleader - Multi-Attack step aggro
Karona, False God - Your spells are my spells
Glissa, the Traitor - Artifact Toolbox
CA engines like Necropotence, Phyrexian Altar, and Sylvan Library are good, as are pillowfort cards like Propaganda/Ghostly Prison or Privileged Position.
