So i had Cairn Wanderer on the battlefield and alot of keywords in my graveyard. however it didn't get any of them apart from First Strike... which is super strange... when Flying is 1st but it didn't get it from it's effect even though the creature that gave it First Strike also had Flying, vigilance, lifelink, protection from red and from green on my only First Striker in the graveyard and there was Fear in my graveyard which is after Flying before First strike. it was also missing Trample, Deathtouch, Haste and Lifelink. I can wait for the fix; just wanted to give you the heads up.
I also want to say that both of my Bleeding Effect and Cairn Wanderer also didn't seem to get Trample over Planeswalkers which i was told on the judge server it should gain it.
at some point tomorrow i will be seeing if it gets any other effects come up with this creature. if you want the event code it is 274607701 and the game code is 901453478. i will say i would add screenshots of the whole game... BUT the replay doesn't pause no more...

I wanted to add a update as its GOT STRANGER... SO MUCH MORE STRANGER.
With Cairn Wanderer and Phobian Phantasm both on the battlefield... Cairn Wanderer gains Flying and Fear which makes no sense as in my graveyard i have Zetalpa, Primal Dawn and Thrasta, Tempest’s Roar...
With Cairn Wanderer and Kathril, Aspect Warper both on the battlefield with Kathril, Aspect Warper having Double strike, Flying, Indestructible, Trample and Vigilance counters... Cairn Wanderer has no abilities BUT when Atraxa, Grand Unifier comes to the field... Cairn Wanderer gains all her keywords...
Does seem like "Hexproof From X" and "Trample over planewalkers" doesn't work with these effects. I just exiled Volatile Stormdrake with Altar of the Wretched and it didn't gain "hexproof from activated and triggered abilities" to note i understand that a counter of "Hexproof from X" and "Trample over planewalkers" would not work but i was told for both "Trample over planewalkers" and "Hexproof from X" it should work like "Protection from X" for other effects.

The only keywords Cairn Wanderer can ever gain are flying, fear, first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, landwalk, lifelink, protection, reach, trample, shroud, and vigilance. Cairn Wanderer predates Hexproof and Indestructible being keywords, and is incapable of gaining those through it's own ability. Kathril, Aspect Warper should have no problem though with those abilities.

Having said that, Cairn Wanderer does seem to not be functioning as expected as it seems to be looking at keywords on the battlefield instead of creatures in graveyards.

You are also correct about the trample over creatures part, and would be true of Hexproof if that was an ability Cairn Wanderer could get.
702.1c An effect may state that “the same is true for” a list of keyword abilities or similar. If one of those keyword abilities has variants or variables and the effect grants that keyword or counters of that keyword to one or more objects and/or players, it grants each appropriate variant and variable of that keyword.
702.19c Trample over planeswalkers is a variant of trample that modifies the rules for assigning combat damage to planeswalkers. The controller of a creature with trample over planeswalkers assigns that creature’s combat damage as described in rule 702.19b, with one exception. If that creature is attacking a planeswalker, after lethal damage is assigned to all blocking creatures and damage at least equal to the loyalty of the planeswalker the creature is attacking is assigned to that planeswalker, further excess damage may be assigned as the attacking creature’s controller chooses among those blocking creatures, that planeswalker, and that planeswalker’s controller. When checking for assigned damage equal to a planeswalker’s loyalty, take into account damage from other creatures that’s being assigned during the same combat damage step, but not any abilities or effects that might change the amount of damage that’s actually dealt.
