Cage-and-useful-scaling mage build: Veigar does not win only because he stacks, but because he turns objective space into positional debt for the enemy. The build must therefore protect cage threat, damage growth, and enough safety to reach his true rotations.
Veigar converts AP into kill threat. The build accelerates scaling while ensuring he can cast his combo safely.

With his first major AP item, Veigar starts moving from control mage into true burst threat. The cage becomes more than a zoning tool: if the enemy misrespects its edge or gets trapped into W, the rotation can create a kill before an objective.
