Type 0 was originally invented somewhere in 96 or something like that, and it is a magic deck format to allow use of non-tournament cards. It is also designated so that multi-color is supported via allowing multilands and banning worst anti-multicolor land hosers like Blood Moon.
As new magic expansions became available type 0 fell behind as there was no people updating the lists. However, on Winter 99 I started to arrange retro MtG tournaments, and as the type 1.5 format soon become dull and dominated by lightning bolts, the old type 0 was rediscovered. The card list was updated to include weatherlight, too, and all newer expansions were banned because a) they were not used in retro-tournaments and b) there would be too much to ban.
