there is no rule about "limiting" additional strikes.
in theory there is no limit to the maximum additional strikes you can do in
a single round as long as you can pay for them. (lightning reflexes)
> Does a Black Metamorphosis (or any other permanent card) provide an

nope. the rule is, only one card may be used to generate additional strikes
each round. But some cards contradict the rules,by card text.
example : black metamorphosis + blur = incorrect.
black metamorphosis + Jacko's special + quickness = correct.
6.4.3:
A minion cannot use more than one card or effect to gain additional strikes
per round of combat.
> Does a Black Metamorphosis (or any other permanent card) provide an

No. The minion can either use the Black Metamorphosis additional
strike or the Blur, not both (and cannot play Blur if he uses the
BM one).

The ruling is that you can't use additional strikes for more than 1
Source, thus you can't use Murieta's additional at the first round and
Blur, but you
can use Jacko's additional and Blur, because Jacko is the dude.
His special specifies that his inate additional strike does not
count against his additional strike effect limit, so you can also use
additional
strikes from 1 other source e.g. Blur.
I also have a question for LSJ: • If you have any pending
(additional) strikes, wait until those strikes are resolved before
gaining further additional strikes (if you are allowed to use more
than one additional-strike-gaining effect in a round). [LSJ 20001206]
That means, that if Jacko wants to use his inate additional strike
and also play blur, he has to use his additional strike and then play
blur, he cannot play blur prior to declaring which his first
additional strike is, just in case he wants to cycle his hand and draw
an undead strength.
Is this ruling still in effect ?
No. Jacko's additional strike is optional. It isn't "pending" unless
and until he uses it.
What it means is that you cannot play both Blur and Quickness
together before resolving the strike(s) gained from the other.
> Is this ruling still in effect ?
Yes.

Though effective, appear to be ineffective -- Sun Tzu
Yeah, i got that and i am sorry i am getting into too many details
regarding Jacko's ability, but i'd like to really comprehend EXACTLY
how these rules work... So,
if i read you correctly, you mean that if my minion e.g. the
fearsome Watenda, after the initial strike phase and having survived
Jacko's wrath, declares that he will not use any additional strikes,
Jacko has 2 options:
1st. declare that he will use his "special" additional strike, so it
becomes pending and he cannot play a blur before declaring his 1st
additional strike
2nd. play blur and after the 2 additional strikes, decide if he will
use his "special" additional strike.
So, he is free to do any of the above and there is no way to force
him to make a decision about his "special" additional strike before
playing a Blur,
i believe i finaly got it!
My mistake was that i took for granted that he had to make the
decision of using or not his "special", before using any additional
strike gaining cards or effects. Thanks for your guidance, many times
the details mean a lot.
Correct.
