This deck revolves around the card Throne of the God-Pharaoh, one of my favorites from the new set. The purpose of the deck is to produce a bunch of tokens, mostly zombie tokens, get out the Throne and use one of the many tapping enablers to make your undead army "bow", dealing heaps of damage to all of your opponents outside the combat step.

The deck has three main components - 1. Token producers; 2. Tapping enablers; and 3. Ways to search for the Throne.

Token Producers - Sidisi already produces her fair share of undead minions, but the deck also includes cards like Lich Lord of Unx to create more zombies (and deal more damage), Avenger of Zendikar, Dread Summons, and Endless Ranks of the Dead. Additionally, the deck includes a few ways to make Sidisi unblockable to help both fill the graveyard and generate tokens, such as Zombie Trailblazer, and Keeper of Keys.

Tapping enablers - Cards such as Earthcraft, Cryptolith Rite, and Zombie Trailblazer give you an outlet to tap your zombies for the Throne, while also providing powerful and synergistic effects. Specifically, Hair-Strung Koto and Embalmer's Tools put cards into the graveyard which can help generate more tokens with Sidisi on the battlefield, which in turn allows you to tap the new tokens to put more cards in the graveyard, generating more tokens and dealing more damage with the Throne. Harvest Season is another great new card that allows you to capitalize on all your tapped tokens.

Searching up the Throne - Because your graveyard fills up fast with this deck, it's very likely that the Throne will end up in your graveyard. Therefore, cards like Eternal Witness and Buried Ruin let you pluck the Throne from your graveyard and put it into play. Other cards such as Rune-Scarred Demon and Sidisi, Undead Vizier allow you to access the Throne directly from your library.

Graveyard Synergy and Zombie Tribal - The rest of the cards either help make use of your large graveyard or synergize with zombies. Havengul Lich allows you to access a variety of activated abilities, my particular favorite being the ability of Gravespawn Sovereign . Splendid Reclamation can generate enormous amounts of mana with a large enough graveyard.

Let me know what you think of the deck, the concept and the inclusions! Also give me your thoughts on cards to add/cut. I want to try and keep the creature count high for Sidisi, but I'm certainly open to suggestions!
