Because Break of Day affects only creatures you control when it resolves. It won’t affect creatures that come under your control later in the turn.
- WotCJul 1, 2013
Break of Day checks your life total only at the time it resolves. Any creatures that gain indestructible will continue to be indestructible that turn even if you gain life.
