Kessig Dire Swine, Creature — boar horror, designed by Jason Kang first released in Apr, 2016 in the set Shadows over Innistrad.
A deck that focuses on filling the graveyard with different card types would benefit from using Kessig Dire Swine, as it can become a powerful trampling threat with delirium activated. However, there are potentially better options for a similar mana cost that offer more immediate impact or versatility in different situations, such as Verdurous Gearhulk or Carnage Tyrant. Whether Kessig Dire Swine should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it's being considered for.

In some rare cases, you can have a token or a copy of a spell in your graveyard at the moment that an object’s delirium ability counts the card types among cards in your graveyard, before that token or copy ceases to exist. Because tokens and copies of spells are not cards, even if they are copies of cards, their types will never be counted.

The number of card types matters, not the number of cards. For example, Wicker Witch (an artifact creature) along with Catalog (an instant) and Chaplain’s Blessing (a sorcery) will enable delirium.

Trample matters only as combat damage is being assigned, before it’s dealt. If Kessig Dire Swine doesn’t have trample while assigning its combat damage, it won’t matter if a creature dying due to combat damage causes Kessig Dire Swine to gain trample.
