Lotus Bloom and Explore will both allow for a T3 Fishface.

Lotus Bloom is free and operates independently. Explore needs an additional land but adds to the overall consistency of the deck. Which is the better option?

Doesn't Lotus Bloom come into play on turn 4?

Regardless, I'd say that Lotus Bloom is bad in tron because it represents 1 time mana to cast a single spell (like Ad Nauseam) so that one card you get to cast ought to end the game. What you're looking for is acceleration for multiple spells over multiple turns, so to that end Explore is the better option.
