It does play very nicely with Afterlife. And the Wormfang comparisons show that the costs are spot on.
The only thing is, at the moment it infinite-loops when it's your only creature. That needs fixing somehow. "When ~ ETBs, sacrifice it unless you exile another target creature you control until ~ LTBs"? That's rather more confusing than the current wording...
Maybe it's okay to get a discount on Pillarfield Ox if it's your only creature? If so, you can just add "another" to the current wording and be done with it.
With my suggested wording, you wouldn't have to find X+1 cards, but if you (voluntarily or otherwise) find anything less than that, you'll have to put back X (which is all of them), and the spell becomes pretty much useless.

I wasn't aware that this ability had been used before (here it's a gating variant that plays into Afterlife).
Heh, it's Wormfang Crab! (With Wormfang Turtle's stats.)
"you control" defeats the purpose
missing "gains"
missing apostrophe
4/4 too much for white common. now a value Pillarfield Ox
adjust heaven cost from
missing UEOT
made instant (no clear reason not to), and "any number of target" instead of all

use Sadistic's wording
@Sadistic OH! yes, that would result in pretty much what I wanted ^_^;;;

The other option is the Signal the Clans approach. Make everything after the search conditional on finding enough cards.
forgot to say what happens if no one pays
now flat payment to replace the two choices with a card of that opponent's choice, down from
