God-Pharaoh's Gift is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may exile a creature card from your graveyard. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that card, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie. It gains haste until end of turn.
How it works : God-Pharaoh's Gift
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The ability of God-Pharaoh's Gift doesn't target the creature card you'll exile. You choose one as the ability resolves. No player may take actions between the time you choose a creature card to exile and the time you create the token.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The token copies exactly what was printed on the original card and nothing else, except the characteristics it specifically modifies. It doesn't copy any information about the object the card was before it was put into your graveyard.
Card named in this ruling
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The token is a Zombie instead of its other types (unlike Zombies created by an eternalize ability) and is black instead of its other colors. Its power and toughness are 4/4. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.

- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Unlike the tokens created by an eternalize ability, this token has the mana cost and thus mana value of the card it's copying.

- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If the card copied by the token had any "when [this permanent] enters the battlefield" abilities, then the token also has those abilities and will trigger them when it's created. Similarly, any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities that the token has copied will also work.
No other card is named in this ruling.
