NOTES:
This is a 'direct draw' mechanic found in many other similar games, allowing you to pull the card that you need.  Essentially, it's a creature-only hourglass.  Name and art are a bit off, but that's the best I had to work with.

I think it is about time for these cards to surface. This will be a great addition to elements.

Why :gravity? I think adding cards to the hand fits :time more. [Not that I don't think non  :time or  :aether draws are needed.]

I think this card has some interesting merit.

Call to arms sounds a bit more on the Light or Life side (depending how you look at it), so what about "Centripetal Force" for Gravity.

Also, this card has a lot of potential to dramatically help whatever element it ends up in so maybe look at the elements in need of a boost.

 :air is about freedom. What signifies freedom more than the ability to move from zone to zone (Deck, Hand, Field)?

:gravity is Order, as opposed to :entropy's Chaos.  This card reduces some of the chance found in the game, to a degree.

Note: not a card in the game has three words, you might say "reinforcment" is enough.

Are there standards out there that specify the length of a card name?

Yes. The only limit on the size of card names is the size of card name bar at the top.

60 Card Speed Bow?  6 of these, 6 Hourglasses, 6 Supernovas, Quantum Towers, and a lot of creatures.

I <3 this card.  It must be implemented!  Good work PF.

This would help mono gravity a lot. I like it.

It would not help rainbow as much because rainbow relies on creatures from many different elements to account for random quanta draw. If you drew and played a graboid and then called for another, you would probably be low on :earth at that point, which is good.

Good idea, but it definitely needs a better name and probably different art.
