With 1 Korlash in hand and 1 on the battlefield, use the Grandeur ability to discard the one in hand to grab 2 swamps.  While he's in the graveyard you can use the Lord's ability to return him to your hand.  Pitch him again for two more swamps.

This nets you an average of 2 swamps more/turn or 4 swamps the first time you play it (grandeur, return to hand, grandeur) followed by 2/turn.  The more mana you're pulling out of your deck, the more likely you are to hit something that will use it, and the more mana you'll have to cast it when it drops!

More Lords make more chances to get Swamps as you cycle through your deck, leaving lots of good topdecks

Add Lotus Cobras or Amulet of Vigors and you got yourself infinite search!

Well, you still need to find a way to untap the Lord, he's the really slowing part of the combo.

this would be pretty cool if you could find a cheap way to untap him infinitely.

It could be a potential deck with Cabal Coffers, Magus of the Coffers, and creatures with Affinity for Swamps like Dross Golem.  Your finisher could be Stronghold Overseer.

in combination with Tideforce Elemental and 4 of each of watery grave and underground sea assuming that you have some lands out yet, you get get half of your lands out in one turn.

or training grounds and umbral mantle on the lord...

both makes it double colored!-(

If you're splashing blue, why not Roil Elemental :), maybe a little Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth if you want some non-basics in there for more mana-fixing
