Oracle of Mul Daya
Scenario...
I play a land card.
I play the above aforementioned card.
I play another land card.
I reveal my top card. Its a land card.
Can I play that land card on the same turn? If yes, I assume I can continue to play land cards as long as they are my top card, correct?
Nope. You get one land play per turn, that is given to you free by the gods of magic.
If something tells you that you may play additional lands, then you look at how many land plays you are awarded normally (one), how many additional you are awarded (in this case, one) to get your total you can play in a turn. (for this scenerio, two) Then, you look at how many lands you have played. (Two so far) If that number is equal to the number you are allowed for the turn, then you should stop playing lands.
As a side note. In your scenerio, you play a land, then the oracle. That is fine. Then you say you play a land, then reveal your top card, but this isn't how this would happen. As soon as the Oracle hits the battlefield, that top card is revealed. You don't get the chance to play a land between her hitting the battlefield and the top card being revealed.
here is the official ruling for your reference.
305.2a To determine whether a player can play a land, compare the number of lands the player can play this turn with the number of lands he or she has already played this turn (including lands played as special actions and lands played during the resolution of spells and abilities). If the number of lands the player can play is greater, the play is legal. #
305.2b A player cant play a land, for any reason, if the number of lands the player can play this turn is equal to or less than the number of lands he or she has already played this turn. Ignore any part of an effect that instructs a player to do so.
