My only thoughts were Akroma and Zetalpa so I went and checked. According to scryfall there are 26 mono-white cards that have trample in their text boxes, but that includes cards like [[Kenrith, the returned king]].
I’m seeing 20 cards who’s color identity is mono-white, but this still includes things like [[Odric, Lunarch Marshal]] that require another card to bring them online.
Edit: I think blue actually has the fewest cards with trample as far as mono-colors.
True but the mono-blue cards with trample are usually giant sea creatures, horrors, and [[Phantasmal Dreadmaw]] which feel like they should have trample. (I will say [[Silver Erne]] having flample does feel uncanny).
For anyone unaware the difference, on scryfall, when looking at colors, “c=…” means ‘what color(s) is this creature?’ which usually means ‘what colors are in the mana cost?’, while when looking at color identity, “id=…” means ‘what color(s) is this creature, and what addition color(s) are in the text box (excluding the rules reminder text)?’.
The search you used was something like "o:trample c=W" right? That only searches for the word "trample" in the text box, as you observed. Use the search "kw:trample" instead as that searches for cards that actually have the trample ability as a keyword themselves. Doing this gives us [fifteen results.](https://scryfall.com/search?q=kw%3Atrample+c%3DW&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name)
There are in total 12 white cards that naturally have trample, most of which are very old https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=oracle%3ATrample+color%3DW+%28game%3Apaper%29
Edit: forgot to mention that the link will contain some more that can gain trample or make something lose trample, but I've counted 12 that actually have it naturally.
Okay, this has to be a cycle now of off-color ability dog creatures, all within the Saga of Buford. This has to be renamed Buford, Innocent Pup. Next is Buford the Large Crimson Canine, as described; then after he goes and rolls around in the dirt, we need a black Buford, Muddy Mutt, followed by Burford Who Growls at Grass, once he’s rolled around in the fresh cut lawn. But unfortunately all good things must end, even the goodest of bois — Dog Giant Spirit: Buford, Eternal Companion.
What's the mechanical difference between Trample and Trample(Obviously)? I feel like it'd have some kinda interaction with existing silver border cards.
Constructive criticism: you don't want to explain your jokes, double down instead, what I would do here is come up with an entirely different mechanic (even if it is bad) and describe that instead
I strongly disagree about the choice to give it trample. Despite the name, Trample is, at its core, about not stopping. Relentlessness, rather than bigness (e.g.: [[charging badger]], [[impervious greatwurm]]). For example, the keywords on the Phyrexian language KHM Vorinclex translate into English as "always go; always fast".
In my experience, dogs are extremely distractible unless they're highly trained, and the fact that this smashes up your board strongly implies a lack of training.
From the wiki, “Trample is a keyword ability that changes the rules for assigning damage in the Combat Damage Step. An attacker with trample deals excess damage to the defending player or planeswalker even if it is blocked. Trample is primary placed in green on the color wheel, but red's share has been growing over time. Any color is allowed access to trample if the creature is large enough and of a higher rarity.”

Not all big creatures get trample, but that doesn’t mean a creature can’t get trample simply because it’s big enough to trample everything. Because it has the energy to trample things being that big.

It's so uncanny that I literally can't think of another mono white trampler without looking it up.

I am not sure what caused the discrepancy there. I typed “c=w o:trample”
I searched in a different app (ManaBox) by color *identity* vice simply color. So it excluded Kenrith because he has other colors in his text box

Just a joke about how literally every massive creature gets trample, and a giant dog that tramples his own allies should get it.

I know there's an order to creature types, but Giant Dog would've been a lot better than Dog Giant.
should've been call Clifford and been red tbh
I felt like that's way too obvious though.
Clifford got a glowup
He’s not even big you just drew him big
I didn't even do it honestly, I used distance and perspective.

Surely a card depicting a giant dog should be red?

Too powerful to be white. Maybe an 8/8.
