How do I balance it without making it even less elegant than it already is.

: Exile a nonland card from your hand with time counters on it equal to its converted mana cost. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend.

I think the strength of this card is near aether vial levels.

I'd do itl, only then I'd be giving all the creatures cast with it haste. Another powerlevel boost is the last thing this card needs.

Oh right. Well I guess just tack on a loses haste clause then? Or add more costs to the activiation and/or make it ETBT and/or stuff

this card will leave a lot of mana open midgame for other actions
TLDR

I don't like the idea of adding haste to it, as time in The Angelwood passes faster so everything there is slower, and manually removing it seems like the wording is just becoming less elegant. 

I suppose I could tack on a ETB Tapped ability, though.

I'd word it "...with a number of time counters equal to its converted mana cost..."

I made this card a sister, here. Not exactly sure if its a cycle, or what I'm building it around. I'm thinking of making a group of 3-5 of these. Perhaps one representing each color? Then would this represent blue or green?

Seems like you should be able to make a flavor link to the ETB tapped mechanic here
