See Sigma.
• "Capacity X-Y" means "this ETBs with X capacity markers set to Y."
• Markers are not counters.
• X↑ and X↓ mean "change the value of one Capacity counter on this creature by X."
Frankly, this might be too similar to planeswalkers, moreso even than the tracks concept.
Of course, since I started these cards from a top-down perspective while conceiving of how to represent Overwatch characters and cooldowns, I've wound up with the most complicated versions of the mechanics possible. A common wouldn't be nearly so busy.
The weird problem with die is that they have no zero. You can have the value 6, but won't be able to pay for 6↓. The track already has this weird situation where you cannot move four spots on a four-spot track, but a die (or "six-sided capacity marker") is making this even worse.
Other than that I feel this would be a reasonable nonrandom way to introduce dice into black-bordered cards, so there may be value to that part of the idea.
Maybe if "5↓" meant "Remove a die with value 5 or more"?
