In a recent match, my opponent told me that I was not allowed to place my Leyline of Sanctity on the board since he had already declared that he was keeping his hand. It was game 3. He was 'on-the-play' .
Is this true? It seems very unfair.
I thought pre-game actions were performed just prior to the firs spell cast.

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.
6/8/2016 A player’s “opening hand” is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans and “scryed” if applicable. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player’s opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.
So he HAD to keep his hand before you can put the Leyline in play.
No, that's not true. Only after the mulligan process finishes do you choose to put cards that allow you to begin the game with them on the battlefield (such as Leyline of Sanctity) onto the battlefield (not: board) (C.R. 103.5, 103.5a).
Yes. Your responses seem to confirm what I thought. Which is that my opponent can not "lock me out" of performing pre-game actions simply by quickly declaring that his keeping his hand.
Thank-you.

Generally speaking, players can never lock other players out of doing anything just by quickly trying to move forward. Progression is a two-way street that requires mutual action or inaction.
