It's all the same from here pretty much. I Could be wrong about Coiling Oracle, but I can't think that far ahead. So far I got a list that sets me up as best as I can think to play a land card before the first main phase of the game. This guarantees that weather or not I win the dice roll and get to go first, that at least I get to utilize that first turn untap step 50% of the time, and going second 100% of the time.
So in looking at a few of your deck lists, I see that you regularly use a Mox Jet in your partial lists, is that because you only have a Jet? In the list it would be more advantageous to be running Lotus Petal and Black Lotus - course the Jet allows you to cast the Vampiric, but one source is a usually a losing proposition for casting your spells.
As to starting the game with a land in play, with Leyline (note the spelling), what is the point of that? Certainly it wouldn't hurt but you are setting your deck up to jump through hoops to do it, and few opponents are going to even pause if you start with something like Leyline of Anticipation, pitching Spirit Guide, Mox Sapphire, Coiling Oracle revealing and putting onto the battlefield Tropical Island - leaving you with 3 cards in hand. Their possible answer would be something like Underground Sea, Sol Ring, Mox Ruby, Tinker into Inkwell Leviathan and 4 cards in hand. I would be betting on the Shrouded fatty in the fight.
