Just got a new expansion pack and it has 3 copies of the Jinteki Identity card, which are exactly the same!

I know they say that there are 3 copies of each card, but your identity card is always in front of you, you don't need multiple copies. What the heck?

This isn't a rules question. (And consider that if you only did 1 copy of the identity, you'd be doing 2x of another card, and that wouldn't be good either.)

Perhaps I should have worded it better.

is there a reason I have 3 copies of a similar identity card? Does this mean I can shuffle different identity cards into a deck and swap out my identity with another? That's now been answered, but I can't deny I'm disappointed they didn't swap out the other 2 Jinteki identities with others corp. types. Still, question/non-question confirmed. Thanks.

The only reason there are 3 of them is ease of production. You need only one identity for each deck you build.

And when I think about it I suppose you can make three separate decks of the same corp. without having to share the identity card between them, so I can see a convenience benefit.
