Aha, I think I understand now why you usually get the same card you just used the first time you fill the Destruct-O-Meter. The game starts you with one of each bird at the beginning of every level. To make sure you never have two of the same card visible at the same time, the game will never award you a card you already have. Assuming you can fill the Destruct-O-Meter with a single bird, the game’s only option is to give you back the bird you just used, or else a spell. Chances of getting a spell seem much lower than getting a bird. But if you were to start with all five spells in your arsenal, the game would have no choice but to give you the exact card you just used. So the best strategy, if you had a Mighty Eagle in your first three, would be to use it right away and force the game to give you another one that you can use near the end of your Arena run. Otherwise, if you have a strong bird guaranteed to do a lot of damage, use that and you’ll get another one of that bird for later use. This doesn’t work on the second Destruct-o-Meter fill and thereafter because you’ve used up more cards and the game has more options in terms of what to give you.

The reason I was sometimes getting a Pig Inflator rather than the card I had just used was because I have no Pig Inflators in my stash right now, so I was starting the Arena with every spell other than that one.
