Premodern archetypes that play Glacial Chasm
- Turbo Lands: A land that prevents all damage that would be dealt to you, so burn, attackers, Black Vise and The Rack all stop. It costs a land when it enters, its cumulative upkeep costs 2 life per age counter, and your creatures cannot attack. Life loss still gets through, such as Cabal Archon's drain, and so do Wasteland, Dust Bowl, Vindicate and Armageddon; Sligh's Flaring Pain switches the prevention off for a turn.
