Steam client Anim speed 9 (options not console). I gues that this graphical glitch (bug) should be reported in past, but did not found it (at least after july 2015). Sometimes card image is realy tiny (instead of realy big when showing new card). 2nd screenshot show that animation did not reach their end ... card still have no correct rotation. Once I get tiny card to hand. (Shot from 1 turn after geting it.)
The tiny card in hand is when Quick Reactions (or Simian Reflexes) draws an armor card that triggers before it finishes growing.
First 2 shot are from 4 map of Yellow Dragon ... only Ximicus is here. The last (with tiny card in hand) is from 2 map of Passasgeways to Death.
The first two are interrupted animations, which happens a lot when a new card coincides with a story prompt. It may also happen if you're clicking to speed up the animations (I don't do that myself). The last one shows Quick Reactions in hand.
