@Wormfang Because Black signifies corruption and evil. You're the opponent, so it's like you signify the evil or an oppressor working against the people. So the idea is that the more black mana you have, the more corrupt and evil (or at least potentially corrupt) you are, which makes the mob increasingly larger and angrier.

On my count there are only 11 mono-white creatures with built-in trample, and this is one of the better ones. White has lots of great auras, and there's equipment too. I second the Armored Ascension idea.
Banding would've been quite flavorful, but the interactions of banding with abilities like trample made it confusing. Had to do with with banding was done away with altogether, and so was trample for a while.

Wow people are really uncreative about cards. This is a fantastic card, and it has an 2 average rating!? In multiplayer there's virtually always someone playing black. This gets +1 for each of all your opponents' swamps, not just the one you're attacking. Worried about losing it to a Lightning Bolt? Slap a Mask of Law and Grace and/or an Accorder's Shield on it.
Even if your opponent doesn't play black, it's still solid. How many white creatures have trample? Put an Armored Ascension on it and you have at least a 6/6 flying trample.

Run with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. If I was MTG the card would read "As long as it's your turn, Angry Mob has +1/+1 for each Swamp your opponents control."

It's a variable-strength Sea Serpent, basically. I suppose you could sideboard it if you expect to face mono-black...

I don't under stand the flavour of this, I get the trample and i can follow white mobs but where's the swamp bonus coming from?

Yay! White trample! The flavour of the whole "only gets its bonus on the attack" thing might not have been worth how cluttered it makes the card though.

It's a lynch mob--angered by swamps (which empowers black)! Racist mtg card!!!***
(***I'm obviously joking.)
