Title: Seems too good to be true

With  {Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient} And  {Mind's Eye}, can you activate these multiple times with a single trigger?

Yups, it doesn't say once per turn :)

Wow, I hadn't even seen the connection between these 2 cards. I simply meant the 2 cards seperately. That's frigggen awesome.

All the above answers are incorrect.

Firstly, {Mind's Eye} has a triggered ability and {Kurkesh} only triggers off activated abilities, so the two cards don't even work together.

Secondly, {Kurkesh}'s triggered ability can only trigger once per separate instance of another artifact's activated ability, such as that of {Expedition Map}.

But what about cards that specifically say once per turn

ie: {steel hellkite}, {Chaos Orb}, {Boreal Centaur}

It doesn't matter how many times you activate; {Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient}'s triggered ability only triggers once per activated ability as it is put on the stack.

Ok, I'll agree. It's not an activated ability, it's a triggered ability.
