Sunborn Vanguard
Caparocti Sunborn slots into any midrange or artifact synergies with straightforward efficiency. The card name gives you a clear signal. At four power and four toughness, it survives many early trades and functions as a credible attacker. Its attack trigger asks you to tap two untapped artifacts or creatures you control to gain card advantage through a discover three effect that digs for low cost answers and tempo plays.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan style play you treat this Sunborn as a repeatable digging engine. It supports aggressive boards that also want to preserve tempo because the selected cards can be cast without paying their mana cost when found. Play it when you have artifacts or utility creatures available to tap and build around the discover window rather than rely on raw damage alone.
