Two questions about this card: 1) How can I word this do that it doesn't become an infinite loop? and 2) Is "double-faced" a characteristic that the game can check?

So, I think this triggers off its original transformation - it transforms, triggers conditions are checked, and a card has transformed. However, I don't think this is obvious :)

How about this for a mechanic - once it has 10 or more warp counters, it transforms. Then, the ability on the back is "Whenever a card transforms, you may remove a warp counter from ~. If you do, choose a permanent at random. Transform that permanent."

It basically means you get to transform up to 10 permanents at random, one of which may be Dimensional Portal.

For question 1), I think you'd have to say "other than as a result of this ability". Or choose a different trigger condition. Also it should spell out whether it notices itself.
