Cosmic horror, pre-being. The zone of emptiness and potential. Where entities from outside the simulation enter. Zone 0 is where matches begin — the blank slate before the first mana increment.
"Think in epochs. Worlds are patient. Stone outlasts flesh."
Geological consciousness. Root shamans tap into planetary forces — tectonic shifts, weather, ecosystems, magnetic fields.

Cards at this zone-cost intersection are bound to Agares — Earthquakes and language mastery.
