However, defending players may defend their territories using an 8-sided die instead of a 6-sided die if a commander is present in that territory.

In analogy to the intransitive six-sided dice, there are also dodecahedra which serve as intransitive twelve-sided dice. The points on each of the dice result in the sum of 114.
