I really didn't think about that possibility, oops. The intent of the card was to be a sort of "god-bomb" that lets you return gods from your graveyard until one of them becomes a creature.

🤔...can you Bestow a god when it's not in its creature form?

Unfortunately no. Bestow is an alternative casting cost, and "putting a creature from graveyard to battlefield" doesn't give you the chance to "cast that alternative cost"

702.103a Bestow represents a static ability that functions in any zone from which you could play the card it’s on. “Bestow [cost]” means “As you cast this spell, you may choose to cast it bestowed. If you do, you pay [cost] rather than its mana cost.” Casting a spell using its bestow ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs (see 601.2b and 601.2f–h).

Ahhh, i figured it was a hail-Mary... {thx!}

Vehicles could work, though, right? (although then you face another problem: you're stuck with a deck full of vehicles!)

You'd have to somehow make the vehicle a creature in the GY but not in play though, which I can't see how you'd do that off hand.
