Rules Q&A
Gavony Dawnguard
Creature — Human Soldier
Ward (Whenever this becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays .)
If it's neither day nor night, it becomes day as this enters the battlefield.
Whenever day becomes night or night becomes day, look at the top four cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card with converted mana cost/mana value 3 or less from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
Andromedus on Do Multiple Gavony Dawnguard Stack?

I'm trying to understand how multiple Gavony Dawnguard work when, for example, day becomes night and you have two on the board. Do you get to dig four cards down, and then dig again after that? If so, is there a way to know which one is working "first" or does that not matter?

I first read it as "Urza, Land Protector" and was quite confused, as he's not very environmentally friendly. Kinda sad that the melding ability isn't what blows up the world but w/e.
Decent Recruiter of the Guard allusion for the never-ending quest for white card advantage. Queen Kayla bin-Kroog is doing the same for boros; Ranger-Captain of Eos and Gavony Dawnguard are going to go up in price.
Surge Engine is part of a cycle I assume. Sorry defender-matters cards!
Kinda want EDH!Mishra to make Assembly-Worker copies but w/e. Kinda funny that he's the more combo-y one while EHD!Urza is more aggro. Note that Mishra can copy legendary artifacts.

If Sunrise Cavalier & Gavony Dawnguard are the Build-Around-Me cards, then I agree with griffstick. A five-color deck focusing on Mardu or Naya colors is probably the best approach. There are only 21 Daybound cards in existence, so you're limited in that regard immediately, and that's assuming you use them all, even the bad ones. There are only 7 Daybound cards in Boros colors and 16 in Naya colors. If you went Mardu to gain access to tutors, then you can only have 11 Daybound cards in your deck.
In any case, it would be cool if you could trigger Daytime, then Nighttime like normal, then let somebody make it Day again (or just do it yourself)... and then Silence your opponents to make it Night again on their turns.

Even though they do make it Day when they enter, these creatures aren't actually Daybound '^^
That being said, Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp is a Boros commander that can make better use that average of the +1/+1 counter of Sunrise Cavalier, although most Modular creatures aren't really cheap enough for Gavony Dawnguard to be good enough.

What commander would be the best fit for cards like Sunrise Cavalier and Gavony Dawnguard?
I was kinda thinking Alesha, Who Smiles at Death since the Cavalier can buff Alesha while the Dawnguard can provide more cheap creatures to fuel her reanimation effect.
Anything else tho? Is there a Boros commander that directly benefits from the counters that the Cavalier provides?
