According to comprehensive rule 300.1 (page 56 of the linked pdf), the card types are: "artifact, conspiracy, creature, dungeon, enchantment, instant, land, phenomenon, plane, planeswalker, scheme, sorcery, tribal, and vanguard."

Notably, battle is missing from that list. Probably just an error, but does this have implications for tournament play?

Can we think of any funny interactions because of this?

205.2a: The card types are artifact, battle, conspiracy, creature, dungeon, enchantment, instant, land, phenomenon, plane, planeswalker, scheme, sorcery, tribal, and vanguard. See section 3, "Card Types."

Some cards ask for a card "of a type not already chosen" or similar, so if Battle isn't a card type, it wouldn't be a valid target.

Others might ask for a nonartifact, nonland etc card, and Battles would be valid, as they should.

That's odd. Tested it on multiple machines and it works for me. Regional issue? can you find it on https://magic.wizards.com/en/rules?
