{devour flesh} for god removal.  I just kill their other stuff first, and if it ends up being nothing but the god, I'm ok with that.  I don't expect the game to go that long.

Hey mate, this won't work, unless they have enough gods out to set off their devotion.
They aren't creatures if they are the only thing out there.

But then the god isn't a creature because you turned off its devotion...

A whip or two is a great win con for a used Garry IMO. Some people don't like it tho, but I've won games off it :)
Even better if you pitch him out to a pack rat earlier.
