Rhox Charger

Creature — Rhino Soldier3 generic manaGreen mana

Trample and exalted are the same plan wearing two coats. Exalted builds tall: send one creature in alone and every enabler stacks a +1/+1 onto it, so the lone attacker grows into something the defender would rather not eat. Trample is the clause that collects on that growth, refusing to let a single chump blocker absorb the whole swollen total and shoving the surplus through to the face. A 3/3 for four mana never earned a second glance on its own rate, but it is built to be the runner you point forward while everything else holds back and feeds it. The friction is not between the two keywords; they want the same combat. The friction is between exalted and the body's bulk, because the four-mana 3/3 is too clumsy to want a board of cheap enablers built around it and too expensive to be the swarm those enablers usually reward. Most exalted decks would rather their lone runner be cheaper and their enablers be the heavy hitters, and a four-drop attacker eats the slot that wants a faster clock. So the design reads as a green attempt to hand exalted to a creature that closes games rather than enables them, with trample doing the honest work and the stat line asking the deck to justify the four mana around it.
