Glacial Chasm + The Gitrog Monster + Conduit of Worlds

Glacial Chasm

The Gitrog Monster

Conduit of Worlds

How it works

1. Play Glacial Chasm either from your hand or from your graveyard.
2. When Glacial Chasm enters the battlefield, its second ability triggers, causing you to sacrifice another land you control.
3. Play any land from your graveyard.
4. At the beginning of your next upkeep, Glacial Chasm's cumulative upkeep ability and The Gitrog Monster's first ability trigger.
5. Resolve The Gitrog Monster trigger, sacrificing Glacial Chasm.
6. Resolve the Glacial Chasm trigger, choosing not to pay and doing nothing as Glacial Chasm is no longer on the battlefield.
7. Repeat.

This clever locking mechanism completely insulates you from all damage behind Glacial Chasm while neatly bypassing its steep cumulative upkeep. By using The Gitrog Monster's mandatory upkeep sacrifice to feed the Chasm's destruction—or sacrificing another disposable land to fuel the cycle—you keep the damage prevention active without paying escalating life costs or letting age counters pile up. Meanwhile, Conduit of Worlds steps in to bridge the gap, allowing you to replay Glacial Chasm directly from your graveyard turn after turn. Every time a land hits your graveyard during this loop, The Gitrog Monster's triggered ability rewards you with a fresh card draw, turning your defensive maintenance into a steady stream of advantage.
