Snakeskin Veil bug?
Twice today I have seen issues while using or trying to use Snakeskin Veil. Twice I was playing a green deck in Pioneer Play, both instances I had a 2/2 bird token out thanks to Sidequest: Raise a Chocobo.
This first time today I was unable to use it at instant speed. My opponent had out a Starnheim Aspirant 2/2. I used Bushwack to target it with my 2/2 so I could kill it... but I was not allowed to use my instant speed Snakeskin Veil to give it a +1/+1 so it would survive... despite having a forest still untapped.
Just recently, my opponent targeted my token with Withering Torment to destroy it. I cast Snakeskin Veil to gave it hexproof. The stack resolved and my creature was destroyed.......
I have not had issues with the spell before today, which makes it interesting I would see the issue twice within a few hours. I let it go after the first match, but this log is from the second instance.

First scenario, you have to use Full Control to respond to your own spells and abilities. Otherwise Arena uses the tournament shortcut of passing priority after you put something on the stack. Like in a tournament you have to specifically state that you are holding priority. Full Control is the mechanism to do that on Arena.
Second scenario, there was most likely a Nowhere to Run on your opponent's side, which makes hexproof useless.
