This year, nothing could stop Benoît from winning this tournament with his atypical deck. See you next time with maybe new scenarios, that are currently in preparation.

Thank you again Dominique for being tournament director, deck bringer and journalist. Much appreciated.
Great tournament again. Thanks for sharing the stats. Only one mistake in your post: Benoit’s deck could be beaten (see 4th round ). But you are right about no one preventing him from completing the scenario. This will take some thinking.

Also many thanks from my side.
See you all next year.
