Most of the animation issues from that thread have not been addressed, and it's a couple of months old now.
Let's add some more!
Gruul War Plow does something very interesting. If you have 3 creatures in play, it pumps up your first creature, and then pumps up creatures 2 and 3 *simultaneously*. (So does Ethereal Absolution)
We've already addressed in the previous thread how stream effects are superfluous, but in addition, pumping creatures simultaneously would also save a hell of a lot of time! Not just on Gruul War Plow, you understand, there are many other cards that could benefit from it; The first that leaps to mind is the Combine Guildmage I'm currently mastering. I'm sure we players can think up a big old list of these things.
Edit: Other cards/effects that buff one at a time:

- High Alert
- Orzhov Pontiff
- Spawnsire of Ulamog
- Plague Boiler
- Crown of Convergence
- End-Raze Forerunners
- Song of Freyalise
- Decimator of the Provinces
- Sarkhan the Masterless
- Garna, the Bloodflame
- Valor in Akros
- Lightning Runner
- Thopter Pie Network
- Shivan Reef, Battlefield Forge, Caves of Koilos, Yavimaya Coast, Llanowar Wastes
- Tolsimir Wolfblood's 'Voja' token
- 'The Simic Combine' support in RT
- Sorin's second ability
- Nissa, Steward of Elements' third ability (Her second ability triggers one at a time too, but, much faster! That's an acceptable speed!)

Specific other instances:
- Tolsimir Wolfblood's Voja token does the same thing that starfall is describing - it buffs one, then the other two creatures simultaneously
- Jace Unraveler's ultimate buffs each creature individually on each card draw
- Last time I used Ajani's Welcome and Valor in Akros they both buffed each creature individually
Plenty of others that I would have taken note of had the other thread gotten any attentionhaving to click each ribbon before you cab continue after winning a game
Not being able to all your packs in one go
For example, for the March/Path combo, you would still get 12x the Explore from the tokens entering, but it would happen all at once (convert 24 gems one time) rather than 12 separate instances of converting 2 gems as each token enters separately. Probably a slight nerf compared to the current mechanics, but a much better quality of life feature.
As it stands, this case is specific to Explore, which will likely rotate out of standard before any of these suggested changes would ever take place anyway.
Can't we have an - open all- option?
it seems there is a combination of effects/cards that is causing this, but since I have experienced this many times at the start of Greg’s first turn, I also suspect indestructible supports to be involved.
It only happens to me when the AI has a Vanguard out with an ability that they cannot use (Nahiri, for example).
I've been tricked into thinking it was my turn a ton of times already because of how long the AI takes to make a swap. And Lord help you if Greg gets an extra swap. You can waste 20 min watching one turn.
