That makes no sense to me.

If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch . YAY COLOR IDENTITY

I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

Wonderful story, but let's just say that if I were in Nadia's shoes I don't think that method of "training" would go over too well with me.  I'd have been sorely tempted to ring the old man's bell a few times.  Then again it's fairly obvious that Nadia is a bit more stubborn than I would be to her master's teachings and this was probably the only thing that would get through her thick skull.

From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr:

the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play?

I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature.

I enjoyed it very much, I'd like to write something set in Innistrad, so I was looking forward to an example. A pity it was 90% fight: I don't need inspiration to write those...
