Yesterday, we had a Veil of Darkness in play, and the following
happened: Lazverinus rushes Cyscek. No prerange, Laz strikes
Earthshock, but the strike's effect is canceled by VoD. What happens
and why?

I don't see how the identities of being Lazvernius or Cyscek affect anything, so
let's say vampire A rushes vampire B so as not to get distracted.

A plays a Potence-requiring strike card that costs 1 blood. It is A's first
Discipline-requiring card play of the turn, so Veil of Darkness must be checked.
A's controller reveals the top card of xer library, and it's a master card.

So the strike card played is canceled with no cost.
The strike card is placed in the ash heap and its replacement (the master card
previously revealed) is drawn.

A has not yet announced a strike, so must do so. It may be any strike, including
another copy of the strike that was canceled by VoD or a different strike card
or a default hand strike.

The Earthshock has no effect, and Lazverinus picks a new strike.

"has no effect" and "cancelled" are basically synonymous. With a DI,
you'd get to pick a new strike, so pick a new one here.
