| '''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 [[supplement]]al sets and was considered for ''[[Battle for Zendikar]]''. <ref>{{TumblrRef|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|URL=http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/128391697473/correct-me-if-im-wrong-but-concerning-hedronize|title=I was under the impression that black border doesn't roll dice.|tumblr-title=Blogatog|date=September 05, 2015}}</ref> <ref>{{TumblrRef|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|URL=http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/128447403613/i-for-one-am-not-keen-on-seeing-dice-in-black|title=Do you see it happening anytime soon?|tumblr-title=Blogatog|date=September 05, 2015}}</ref>

| The rolling of a regular six-sided die as a mechanic was used on ''[[Magic]]'' cards in ''[[Unglued]]'', and proved to be unpopular. <ref>{{DailyRef|mtg/daily/mm/37|Kind Acts of Randomness|[[Mark Rosewater]]|May 04, 2009}}</ref>

| ===''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 mechanic didn’t really play well because was a little too chaotic. <ref>{{TumblrRef|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|URL=http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/128066237508/what-were-some-mechanics-for-bfz-that-just|title=What were some mechanics for BFZ that just floundered?|tumblr-title=Blogatog|date=August 31, 2015}}</ref> <ref>{{TumblrRef|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|URL=http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/128387791208/what-is-the-hedronize-mechanic|title=What IS the hedronize mechanic?|tumblr-title=Blogatog|date=September 05, 2015}}</ref> <ref>{{TumblrRef|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|URL=http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/128126755748/can-you-tell-us-what-kind-of-things-hedronize|title=What kind of things hedronize could do?|tumblr-title=Blogatog|date=September 01, 2015}}</ref> Nonetheless, there were 8-sided Hedron dice given out at [[PAX]].<ref>{{TumblrRef|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|URL=http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/128439941093/although-the-hedronize-mechanic-didnt-work-out|title=I'd still really love to get some Hedron dice.|tumblr-title=Blogatog|date=September 05, 2015}}</ref>
