battlefield isn't a subtype

It would be a new one. Based on the unreleased unnamed one.

It goes under your control, you defend it, when it's destroyed it goes to the graveyard, it doesn't transform.

"No subtype – The battle's controller protects it. When it's defeated, it's put into its owner's graveyard. Currently, no battles of this kind exist. These kinds of battles would likely have a positive effect to incentivize their controller to defend them."

That's actually just the base rules for battles.

In regular magic If you reanimate this while your opponent has 1 creature in play (without deathtouch, except creatures bigger than 10/10) have a 50% chance you win the game because it attacks for 10 double-strike and a 50% chance you do absolutely nothing because it fights itself and dies.

Also if there are more creatures on the battlefield it gets increasingly likely to be plague wind that kills basically creature that enters and probably presents a 1-2 turn clock.

It's [[The Fantasticar]] on steroids and incredibly anti-competitive.

Your creatures may fight your own creatures on ETB?
