Been designing these for a while finally had a appropriate machine and know how to make them effectively. Each dice has 6 unique sides with the most used tokens of that color. I just put them in my shop let me know what you think and maybe some suggestions to make them better. Keep in mind these are prototypes and feature many machine testing. the white and colorless dice feature the most refined settings and sizing.
Assuming they reprint Goyf, they could make it uncommon if they really wanted to. It's not like it would break limited or anything. I'm just not sure they'd want to drive its price into the ground for all of time. Shocks could be uncommon, too. It's not like dual lands are going to warp limited.

Honestly these seem much worse than normal tokens. It's cute that you can represent different token with the same dice but what if there are many tokens needed? or some tokens are tapped, have +1/+1 counters on them, are enchanted/equipped etc.? Official token are also pretty cheap.
these tap? you can put them on an enchant or equipment? you can use more then one dice? +1/+1 counters are always awkward unless you have the token, but ya paper tokens are pretty cheap. People including myself love dice and you can carry a handful of dice and have all you the tokens you need. but everyone is entitled to their opinion. These are mainly intended to replace people who uses just normal dice as tokens which can get pretty confusing in some game stats.

I'm just questioning how easy it is to tell whether the dice are tapped or not from across the table. Token cards are easy to see because they are bigger than 16x16mm and they are rectangular.
If I have 10 human tokens each with 10 +1/+1 counters it's going to costs me like 10 000 times more to use these dice than just regular token.
But, in the end, not as good as tokens OR dice. They're not as visually distinguishable as tokens (multiples will be hard to tell if they're tapped or not( compared to card-tokens. The white ones especially are hard to see. And chances are they will roll a specific number rather than a random number when rolled because the images are etched rather than painted on.
Not only that, but for decks that spam tokens, this is going to cost quite a bit. But I suppose that's a plus from a selling point of view.
My suggestion would be to fill the etches with another color. Sell them with a crayon, like the old D&D boxed dice were. That will at least solve the visibility problem.
I'm in love with this idea! My only critique would be perhaps using larger dice as the base. Are you married to 16mm as the size? I understand that it's a good standard, but larger dice would not only increase legibility of the P/T. It would also add space to write Flying on the applicable token faces and allow for more detail in the art.
16mm is only used because it's a standard and you can easily buy blanks in small quantities.
I have done some inking and it has made it significantly easier to read but its time consuming for me to do for orders. But you always have the option yoirself

I like this idea! Is it as good as having a token card for every token? Of course not, but I don't think that's the point. The point is that no one ever carries every imaginable token around, and instead you can carry 3-4 of these in each color and always have something that is very close to the token you need, and is the right color.
I kinda like these now! lol...I'd consider picking a couple up just to have...though I'd likely still use my card tokens 99% of the time. I'd only ever use the dice to show it off.
Still...you're asking $27 for 6 of these (shipped to the usa)...which is just too steep for me. I'd be far more interested if I could just buy 1 or 2 of them at a time, and if they didn't cost me $4.50 a die.

let me know your opinions!
It does seem redundant but if your playing a deck that produces both you'll want them separate as some cards buff one not the other

Edit - $2/dice does seem steep though.
