Azusa, Lost but Seeking + Glacial Chasm + Ramunap Excavator

Overview

With Azusa, Lost but Seeking you may play two additional lands each of your turns (in addition to the normal one) so you can play up to three lands that turn . Ramunap Excavator lets you play lands from your graveyard as if they were in your hand, and those plays are still “playing a land” special actions . When Glacial Chasm enters the battlefield its triggered ability “When this land enters, sacrifice a land” will resolve and force you to sacrifice a land (which can be a land you just played that turn); if you control no other lands you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself [Ruling 2008-08-01].

Step 1

Ensure it is your main phase and you have priority so you may take the special action to play lands .

Step 2

Count your available land plays this turn: normally 1, plus Azusa’s two additional lands = up to 3 total this turn .

Step 3

If you want to play lands from your graveyard, Ramunap Excavator must be on the battlefield to allow those plays; those plays are still 'playing a land' and count against your allowed plays this turn .

Step 4

When you play Glacial Chasm (from hand or graveyard), it enters the battlefield as the result of the special action; because it entered, its triggered ability 'When this land enters, sacrifice a land' triggers and goes on the stack.

Step 5

When the triggered ability resolves you must choose a land you control and sacrifice it; you may choose a land you just played this turn, and if you control no other lands you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself [Ruling 2008-08-01].

Step 6

If you have already played the maximum number of lands allowed this turn before Glacial Chasm’s ETB trigger resolves, sacrificing a land does not let you play additional lands retroactively because the rule compares the number of lands you can play with the number you have already played this turn .

Step 7

If Glacial Chasm remains on the battlefield into your upkeep it will require you to pay its cumulative upkeep each upkeep (adding age counters and requiring payment for each) or be sacrificed .

Resolution

You can use Azusa plus Ramunap Excavator to play multiple lands from your hand and graveyard during your main phase because playing a land is a special action and Azusa increases the number you may play this turn . If you play Glacial Chasm (from hand or graveyard), it will enter the battlefield and its triggered ability will put “sacrifice a land” on the stack; when that trigger resolves you must sacrifice a land you control and, per the existing ruling, if you control no other lands you must sacrifice Glacial Chasm itself [Ruling 2008-08-01]. Sacrificing a land after you have already played your allotted number of lands this turn does not let you retroactively play more lands, because the limit is compared to the number of lands you have already played this turn . Also note you can only play lands on your turn , and Ramunap Excavator does not let you activate abilities of lands from the graveyard — it only allows you to play them as lands [Ruling 2017-07-14]. Finally, if Glacial Chasm remains into your upkeep it will impose its cumulative upkeep starting then .
