im sorry.. can you explain why people feel its unbalanced for those playing for tiebreakers? because people can get points for it while they cant?

I'll give my opinion.

Since we have infinite tiebreakers but only 20 total point matches, each point match is 'worth' a lot more in the grand scheme of things. Plus the main indicator of where you end up in the prizes depends greatly on how many points you have, with the tie breakers only helping a bit, generally.

So when I'm the one playing for 'fun' tiebreakers and play against someone who's playing for points, I have a lot less on the line in that game. If I win, hey, I get a couple of tiebreaker points. If I lose, meh, no big deal. However to the person trying to get into the prizes, the points are a very big deal. I've had people in the past get upset with me for not conceding when I was playing for TB's and they needed points (not that I let it get to me, but it happens).

On the other hand, if I'm playing for points against someone playing for their 100th match, their deck will also likely be a lot more 'polished' than mine will be. Plus if they're playing that many games they likely have a decent deck that wins a fair amount of the time (generally), so I'm now facing up against a player who has a lot more experience with his card pool than I have with mine.

While not big deals, they do create some off balance situations.

Yep, you can do exactly that.

So, I'm a new player, and have that addictive personality where I like to play a lot, and learn as much as I can as soon as possible. So, I've played a lot of matches in my league (80 I think, about 10 days into the league), and now I can't seem to get a game, or I have to wait a good 10-15 minutes to get a match. I read the FAQ, where it says that you can only play a person twice, so I'm assuming that's the reason why.

Yep, that's most likely the case. Playing 80 matches means you've played quite a few of the people already in the league (or at least a lot of them that are active at the moment.).

So, how do people play games for fun? I tried to go into the casual rooms, but it said I didn't own the lands, and wouldn't let me join a game (I'm guessing because all my lands are in the league, and I don't "own" them until the league ends, since it's my first league?)

Actually, if it's your first league, you only have the lands that you opened in your collection (+ the starter packs worth of lands). PM me your in game name and I'll give you some extra lands to get you started.

So, I just have to wait until the league is over to play in the casual rooms, and sit and stare at the computer screen hoping someone I haven't played twice gets in the queue? I hope there is another way and I'm just missing something !

You can start the 'waiting for players' and then start a casual test game (once you get the extra cards, of course ). Then once the league game starts politely say that you have to go. That should keep you entertained until you get a match.
