Azusa, Lost but Seeking + Conduit of Worlds + Glacial Chasm

Overview
Azusa lets you play two additional lands each turn in addition to the normal one ; Conduit of Worlds lets you play lands from your graveyard (lands are played, not cast) so Glacial Chasm can be played from your graveyard under that permission ; when Glacial Chasm enters the battlefield its enter-the-battlefield ability forces you to sacrifice a land, so you can sacrifice another land and then replay that sacrificed land from your graveyard using Conduit and any remaining land plays Azusa gives you . Glacial Chasm’s cumulative upkeep requires you to pay life as a cost , and its “prevent all damage” doesn’t stop paying life; if paying upkeep reduces your life to 0 or less you lose the game .
Step 1
Determine how many lands you may play this turn: normally one plus any continuous effects; Azusa specifically grants two additional land plays for a total of three .
Step 2
If Conduit of Worlds is on the battlefield, you may play lands from your graveyard; playing a land from the graveyard is still a land play (not casting) so it’s governed by the land-play limit .
Step 3
Play Glacial Chasm from your graveyard as one of your allowed land plays via Conduit of Worlds; this is a land play, not casting, per .
Step 4
Glacial Chasm’s enter-the-battlefield ability goes on the stack and resolves, instructing you to sacrifice a land; you choose a land you control and sacrifice it (if you control no other lands you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself per ruling) [Ruling [2008-08-01]].
Step 5
The sacrificed land goes to the graveyard. Because Conduit lets you play lands from your graveyard, you may play that sacrificed land later that same turn using any remaining land plays Azusa provides .
Step 6
Repeat as desired within your allowed number of land plays that turn: play a land from graveyard, sacrifice another land when Chasm enters (if Chasm is entering), then replay the sacrificed land using Conduit and Azusa, so long as you still have land plays available .
Step 7
At each upkeep with Glacial Chasm on the battlefield, the cumulative upkeep ability will require paying 2 life per age counter as a cost when the ability resolves; paying life is a cost and is not prevented by Glacial Chasm’s damage prevention, and if you drop to 0 or less life you lose the game .
Resolution
You may use Azusa’s extra land plays together with Conduit of Worlds’ permission to play lands from your graveyard so that: you can play Glacial Chasm from your graveyard; when Glacial Chasm’s “When this land enters, sacrifice a land.” ability resolves you must sacrifice a land (and if you controlled no other lands you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself per ruling) [Ruling [2008-08-01]]; if you sacrifice another land you can then play that sacrificed land from your graveyard using Conduit and any remaining land plays Azusa allows this turn . Glacial Chasm’s cumulative upkeep is paid as a cost (pay 2 life each age) ; its damage-prevention effect does not prevent paying life, and if you drop to 0 or less life you lose the game .
