The take
It's not broken, it's just miserable to play against, and that's a different problem than the one Brackets are supposed to solve.
EDHRec rank 2231, which is fringe for a card people argue about like it's a top-100 problem.
Plays well with
-
Crucible of Worlds
Crucible lets you replay Glacial Chasm from the graveyard every time it's sacrificed to cumulative upkeep or its own ETB, resetting the age counter and the free ride.
-
Solemnity
Solemnity stops age counters from being placed on Glacial Chasm entirely, letting you keep the damage prevention without ever paying the escalating life cost.
-
Fog
Fog covers the turn Glacial Chasm can't, since Chasm only prevents damage to you, not to your creatures or planeswalkers, so stacking both gives you a full stonewall.
