Corpse Centipede

I’ve always wanted a zombie that tutors other zombies, similar to Goblin Matron for Goblins or Forerunner of the Legion for Vampires...but nastier...
(Updated last clause so that the value of X is requested before the spell resolves)
Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
For some reason corpse centipede is awesome and the human centipede is repulsive.... that art is fantastic.

The wording needs some cleaning up but I love the concept! Well done

I’m glad you all like it!! It’s nice to know I’m not the only twisted one around here ;)
The art is awesome, I believe it is of a “manipede” from the Lovecraftian Xbox360/PS3 game Slaughterhouse. I found it on Pinterest under Lewis Erickson. I’m not sure if he is the original artist.
Omniscience_is_life, how would you clean up the wording? The first clause is identical to Haakon, Stromgald Scourge , but I had a bit of trouble with the second clause.

zAzen7977 sorry to abandon you there! I'm pretty sure the value for X can't be requested after the spell has resolved, you'd need to have it be checked on the stack--like Genesis Hydra .

Ah, I think I see what you mean Omniscience_is_life about the X value and the stack, although I’m no expert - how about the following change, based on the language of Genesis Hydra :
“When you cast ~, you may search your library for a Zombie creature card with mana value less than or equal to X and put it into your graveyard. If you do, you lose X life and ~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it.”
I think this wording doesn’t request the value for X after the spell has resolved - what are your thoughts?

zAzen7977 that change looks perfect to me. Love the card!

Thanks Omniscience_is_life! I learned something new about wording spells with X values.
I updated the card with the new text.

Nice! This card kind of reminds me of Fiend Artisan , but just for zombies and better.
