I use a regular pipe, most pipes you find will be made of briar which is a heat resistant wood. Don't worry about finding a really nice pipe or looking for prestige, if it looks like a pipe it'll likely do. I smoke regular tobacco, haven't bothered to get into the flavored types, plain is fine with me. You may develop different tastes once you get going.
Best advice I can give is not to over smoke your pipe. For one it makes it more likely you'll become addicted to doing it, for two it has the chance of damaging your pipe if you smoke too often or smoke too hot (this entails fueling the smoldering tobacco too often.) The rule of thumb is if the pipe is comfortable against your cheek you're fine.
Finally I'd recommend getting another hobby or at least making this one a once in a while type deal. I rarely smoke my pipe, saving it for special occasions for the most part.
I'd like people's thoughts on this. Here's a scenario:
Your opponent is monoblue, and clones your sylvan primordial. Obviously, if he bothered to look through his library, he wouldn't find any forests. So he doesn't look. He also doesn't bother to shuffle. Does this bother you? If yes, why?
Sure, technically he's supposed to...but isn't it just a waste of time? If the deck was shuffled beforehand, and was sufficiently randomized, you couldn't make it any more or less random by shuffling after not looking at anything in between...right?
Obviously in situations where the deck is not in a random order (maybe because a Brainstorm or Spell Crumple resolved earlier) the deck would have to be shuffled...but even if you had cosi's trickster or archive trap, couldn't you just acknowledge that a shuffle should have taken place without going through the physical motions of re-randomizing an already random deck? (And slowing down the game/wasting time?)
The only reason I could see you not bothering to shuffle, is a "waste" of time, in which case shuffle during your opponents turn or just cut the deck once. If the deck doesn't become and more or less random after the shuffle than a cut would be sufficient "shuffling" to meet the criteria of the cards.
Why do this? It's part of the game, it helps you learn and grow as a player to follow the rules. The only detriment is time really which seems negligible given the option to cut once. (If you go to a higher level event then obviously they will require you to shuffle more thoroughly)
If cutting a deck once is a waste of time, I would suggest picking up a hobby that plays out in less time than magic. Especially with regards to EDH as many people can likely cite games that have gone hours at a time.
Are you licensed? If not you'll have to take care of that.
In addition to the stuff Jay mentioned they'll probably ask what about the job is appealing to you, and ask about how you deal with varying levels of conflict.

That's all that really came up when I looked for fifth dimension. I could have looked up whats considered canon for the other dimensions but its your theory lets roll with it.
now, were going to break the pattern with the Tenth Dimension: the Tenth Dimension is just a point, mostly called the "omniverse". it contains everything that ever existed, and ever will exist.
Neat idea. If there were such a dimension it seems like labeling it as a dimension would be kind of redundant. I tend to think of the universe as everything that has every existed.
Also you last big paragraph could be chopped down a bit, you jump from different dimensions laws of those dimensions to anti matter back to those laws and finish with 'infinite possibilities'.
Finally the universe by your understanding would have had to have started in the tenth dimension since that dimension encapsulates all the others.
Keep your job (at least for now). Roughly 7% unemployment in Canada, while that's not bad I know a lot of people who would love a 20$/hr job going into school, in school or coming out.
Save up some money for a bit while you think about it.
If the permanent is an illegal target when Beast Within tries to resolve, the spell will be countered and none of its effects will happen. The permanent's controller won't get a Beast token.
You Arbor Elf is saved but you do not receive a token.

If its whether someone who is 21 should be with someone who is 17 I see no issue with that. Some states do however, so waiting the year is safest.

I do not think the laws of physics limit the number reactions/decisions in any meaningful way in your theory.

If someone doesn't know, and you want to correct them by all means do so. If they don't care that's their problem not yours.
Honestly.
Try it out, just be sure not to let it sit for too long.
If they were to print another 4 ability walker they would have to make all the abilities very bad to compensate for how many roles they fill.
And if they do that then what is the point of playing that "bad" walker?
Doesn't deal with stuff with hexproof but hits everything else.

Also, don't lead her on. It's no fun at the end for either party.
