Even with the forced duo and activation cost, this seems like it may be way OP compared to empathic bond.

Its an interesting concept, but I think a direct linear scaling may not be the way to go... Maybe something along the lines of catapult scaling, but weighted to the 20ish range instead of 100.

(HP*20)/(HP+20) where HP is the sum of the player's creature's HP values.

The 20 is just an example, it can be changed to whatever seems like a good cap should be... It could even be made to depend on stack size if you want this to be stacakable... maybe 15 +5 per card in stack?

If others agree, I am willing to make it so.

Seeking to refine this idea.

I agree with OdinVanguard's suggestion: a linear scaling will definitely make this card overpowering. It is a good way to gain healing from creatures which are very difficult to kill with CC, and I love the  synergy it promotes. I would say that the suggested formula (HP*20)/(HP+20) (suggested by OdinVanguard) would work very well, since I believe that 20 HP is quite near the average amount of HP the opponent's creatures have. Perhaps to put a twist on the standard "lower card cost by 1 or 2 for upgrading" method you could lower the HP cap to 15 or 12, but that's just a suggestion. Great idea for more healing in the game!

How should it be worded?

How should it be worded?

I would suggest:  Shimmer: Heal in proportion to the HP of all the opponent's creatures totaled.
