Thank you Wizards for the Chain Veil. It is really cool. I would prefer it targeting one planeswalker and having a lower activation cost, but I'll take what I can get. Also, is it just me or does this allow Planeswalker abilities to be activated at instant-speed?
I did not anticipate them going down this road so early in the the history of PW cards, but yowsa...that has some hilarious potential. Didn't read the article, but interesting that they work together. I think I would rather Rings of Brighthearth, with The Chain Veil, but still cool.
Interesting that the flags don't match up with the mana symbols. Also worth noting that either the artists or the creative department produced a cycle of (mainly) human creatures with no white men represented.
Chain Veil lets you activate PW abilities during opponent's turn, right? Right?
Don't know if this is actually good or not, but my inner Johnny needs to change his pants.
No, it says that you can activate loyalty abilities as though no loyalty abilities had already been activated, but it doesn't let you circumvent timing restrictions on them. You still have to pay the cost (changing the number of counters on the planeswalker), and it's still at sorcery speed.
Also, like the other comments in the thread, the Mothership hasn't loaded for me either.

No. You can activate the Veil at instant speed, but still can't activate the Planeswalkers until the stack is empty on your turn (at least that's my reading).
I am with you on this. I can't find them either. I tried changing the date to the 2nd, and still can only find yesterday's articles. Pretty terrible website if people can't find the articles just by opening the front page.
I don't think the Chain Veil makes loyalty abilities work at instant speed if I'm reading right. I would imagine it's still restricted by turn and activation time.
Oh, I thought he was talking about playing a spell that is countering a spell with counters on it as it comes into play, but I see you guys were just discussing whether he was flashing a creature with flash in order to flash a flashback or just flashing a creature with flash but not needing flash in order to flashback a spell without flash.
My expression went while reading the Chain Veil. The first card to interact with planeswalker abilities and its pretty good, of not a bit overcosted for any format except EDH and Standard. Now I know why Liliana of the Veil was a pretty strong card. On the Ogre, Rings of Brightheart on a creature is good for me, it swings and doubles artifact abilities is pretty nifty.
Edit: Wait the Ogre is a legend, now thats a definite EDH that I can build around.
#1 - What's the dumbest idea you ever had?
#2 - 15/15 for 15?
#1 - Make it dumber
#2 - Give it protection from removal and counter?
#1 - DUMBER!
#2 - Add Timewalk?
#1 - DAMN IT MAN, I SAID DUMB!! DUMB !!!
#2 - It destroys everything when it attacks.... And wait, I have a friend who plays mill decks... I want to beat him too.
#1 - Excellent! Recess is over, go back and learn sex-ed with the other 6th graders.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
The ogre is like rings of brighthearth for artifacts, and the artifact is like rings of brighthearth for planeswalkers. I want it!!!

I'm pretty sure timing restrictions still apply...

You can still only use them at sorcery speed.
