NOTES:
"Today everything seems to come together"

"You spin my head right round right round..."

This card's primary purpose is to provide gravity decks with a way to hunt for better cards. This is particularly useful to the gravity element because it has no additional quanta producers, yet it also has some of the most expensive cards in the game. This can often lead to situations where you will have no viable cards in your hand due to lack of quanta. Being able to swap those out for useable cards could be a big help there.

This card is also meant to encourage gravity time duos where it will also have strong potential as a quanta source. This is balanced out by the fact that it would require a time card heavy deck to function effectively because it only produces quanta when time cards are played.

The mechanic prompts the user to target a card in their hand. A random card in the user's deck is then selected and swapped with the targetted card.

Multiple gyroscopes can trigger quanta production off of a single time card being played, so this  should be easy to splash into duo decks.

Ahem.

Typo there: Prodcues instead of Produces.

As your description says: "it would require a gravity card heavy deck to function effectively because it only produces quanta when gravity cards are played."
Okay, I get it's time and time can build effective big decks which would allow this to work. But, are you expecting me to believe that I can make an effective Pharaoh deck with this? Either it has TONS of Gravity creatures and just 6 Pharaohs plus some HG's PLUS an alternate  :time generation source because this card alone as a  :time producer is not very effective, and as you mentioned, playing Gravity cards is kind of costly, or it becomes kind of UP during the game because Gravity cards. So, a deck.... I'm thinking a deck with 6 of this card, Pharaohs, Mark of Gravity, perhaps scarabs,  :gravity & :time generators, Momentum and Chargers, HG's, or whatever else could go. Buuut that's just me.

Besides, "This card is also meant to encourage gravity time duos as it also has strong potential as a time quanta source." Encourage Gravity Duos? That smells a bit like a group, there. This literally forces a Time-Gravity duo! It could be a mono by using the  :time on this card only, but then again, that's just me.

If anybody might correct me on something I did not come through, you are welcome.

Oh those dreaded typos :(

Pharaoh is just one option. Hourglass could also make a good combo, it's actually thea in combo I was thinking of when I built the card. Between hourglass and gyroscopes you could search through a deck very effectively.

Grav pillars and pendulums will also trigger this card. The pendulums would do well in the pharaoh deck as the alternative time source.

I have reworked the card a bit. Its element interactions are now flipped, so it produces :gravity when :time cards are played and requires :gravity to cycle cards. I think this should keep it as a low key card search utility in gravity decks but will allow it to truly shine in duos where it can become a strong gravity source (e.g. to power scarabs, catapults, etc) as well as providing much greater cycling ability.

I have also reduced the costs a good deal so it should be easily splashable as a utility card. The upped version is, in fact, useable as a low key card cycling utility in any deck now.
