  • If you control two copies of Veil of Darkness, both of them can be activated when you draw a DARK monster. However, the first copy sends the DARK monster to the GY, so the second copy can’t send it to the GY, so you can’t draw from the second copy.

  • The effect of a monster like Sillva, Warlord of Dark World only activates when it is discarded to the GY from the hand by a card effect. The effects of Hand Destruction and Veil of Darkness send to the GY the cards - this is not the same as discard to the GY. Thus, if a monster like Sillva, Warlord of Dark World is sent to the GY by these effects, then you can’t activate its effect.
