Ok, heres how this works. You create a card to the specifications of the person above you, then list your own card idea for the next person. I'll start.
Variety XX
Sorcery
If X is 2 or lower, draw X cards. If X is 3, put X +1/+1 counters on X target creatures. If X is 4, return X target creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 5 or more, Variety deals x damage to target creature or player. If X is 10 or more, you win the game.
Create a life gaining multicolored Turtle with power twice it's toughness or vice versa.

All saproling creatures have +1/+1.

I like the idea, I'm thinking the concept will be staff of ___, granting the holder the keyword ability of the god (other than indestructible) and something else that boosts that god specifically. For example:
Staff of Hazoret

Staff of Kefnet
Legendary artifact - equipment
Equip
Equipped creature has flying
Before the declare attackers step, you may return any number of lands you control to your hand. If you do, draw X cards where X is the number of lands returned to your hand this was minus 2. Then, tap up to X target creatures an opponent controls.
Staff of Bontu
Legendary artifact - equipment
Equip
Equipped creature has Menace
Before the declare attackers step, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. If you do, scry X, each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is the number of creatures sacrificed this way.
Do the same, but for some iconic planeswalkers
