If I have Veilstone Amulet on the battlefield, and I cast a creature spell, does veilstone's trigger affect that creature once it resolves? Or does it only help the creatures that are already on the battlefield when the spell is cast?
The amulet trigger will resolve before the creature spell on the the stack so the creature that was cast that triggered the amulet will not gain its effect.
The creature cast will gain the benefit from Veilstone Amulet. The effect from the amulet is alters the rules of the game. I've put in bold the part from rule 611.2c that is important. If Veilstone Amulet said your creatures gain hexproof then the answer warghoul gave would be correct.
611.2c If a continuous effect generated by the resolution of a spell or ability modifies the characteristics or changes the controller of any objects, the set of objects it affects is determined when that continuous effect begins. After that point, the set won’t change. (Note that this works differently than a continuous effect from a static ability.) A continuous effect generated by the resolution of a spell or ability that doesn’t modify the characteristics or change the controller of any objects modifies the rules of the game, so it can affect objects that weren’t affected when that continuous effect began. If a single continuous effect has parts that modify the characteristics or changes the controller of any objects and other parts that don’t, the set of objects each part applies to is determined independently.
Example: An effect that reads “All white creatures get +1/+1 until end of turn” gives the bonus to all permanents that are white creatures when the spell or ability resolves—even if they change color later—and doesn’t affect those that enter the battlefield or turn white afterward.
Example: An effect that reads “Prevent all damage creatures would deal this turn” doesn’t modify any object’s characteristics, so it’s modifying the rules of the game. That means the effect will apply even to damage from creatures that weren’t on the battlefield when the continuous effect began. It also affects damage from permanents that become creatures later in the turn.
