You can change the number of sides on a die. If you don’t have any thirteen-sided dice handy, you can use other dice to simulate the rolls.
wotc7 Oct 2022
Truss’s last ability affects a single number or number word on the spell or permanent. It can be anything—power, toughness, something in rules text, the name of a card (Four Wishes, anyone?), collector number, and so on. Mark says you can even change the copyright date, but don’t tell the lawyers.
wotc7 Oct 2022
You can change the number of dice rolled for an effect only if the original instruction included a number word to describe how many dice to roll. You can’t change the “a” in “roll a six-sided die,” but you could change the “two” in “roll two six-sided dice.”
wotc7 Oct 2022
You can’t use Truss’s last ability to change the 1 in Truss’s last ability to a 0. Nice try though.
wotc7 Oct 2022
Note that you’re changing numbers, not digits. For example, if you remove two hack counters from Truss, you could change 10 to 12 or 8. You couldn’t change it to 30.

Indefinite articles such as “a” in “draw a card” aren’t number words and can’t be modified.
