Cards are generated when the pack is opened. There were plenty of bugs were the animations would not show during the beta and the cards always wound up either on the inactive roster or the reserve roster, so the cards have to be generated server-side before the animation starts.

And your argumentation does indeed claim that card odds would be different depending on whether cards are revealed one by one or all at once. If you don't see that, maybe we should indeed wait for the masterminds behind the game to reveal all their secrets.
