Dice rolling is a mechanic that creates a random effect in game play. It is momentarely not part of the official Magic rules for the regular game, but has been used in supplemental sets and was considered for Battle for Zendikar. [1] [2]
Unglued
The rolling of a regular six-sided die as a mechanic was used on Magic cards in Unglued, and proved to be unpopular. [3]
Planechase
Planechase (2009) introduced the six-sided planar die, that features the planeswalker symbol 
on one face, the chaos symbol 
on another and four blank faces. [4]
Battle for Zendikar
One of the mechanics that was considered for the Eldrazi in Battle for Zendikar was hedronize. Hedronize was an keyword action where the player rolled an hedron-shaped (eight-sided) die to get an effect. Thus, hedronize had eight abilities – you roll a dice and you do one of eight things (gain life, produce a spawn, etc.). The rules card that would have come in the pack would list them. The mecahnic didn’t really play well because was a little too chaotic. [5] [6] [7] Nonetheless, there were 8-sided Hedron dice given out at PAX.[8]
