Original: In our last Analogue approaches paper, Jakub Ivanecky looks at the medievalism and horror intersection in Magic: The Gat

A new article in the Analogue Approaches series by Jakub Ivanecky explores how Magic: The Gathering's Innistrad setting draws on medievalism and horror. The paper examines the set's evocations of gothic medievalism and its references to the Cathars, adding to academic work on how the Middle Ages are reimagined in modern games.

Why now: Academic interest in how medieval history and horror aesthetics intersect in popular trading card games.
