What should players do if a trigger with no visible effect is missed?

In the context of Magic: The Gathering, triggers that have no visible effect should generally be handled in a specific way according to the rules outlined in the Judge Infraction Procedure Guide. When a player misses a trigger that has no noticeable impact on the game state, it is typically advised that they continue the game without addressing it.

This approach aligns with the principle of allowing play to progress smoothly and recognizes that not all missed triggers necessitate intervention, particularly when they do not alter the current game state. The rationale is that if a trigger does not have a meaningful and measurable effect on the game outcome, addressing it may unnecessarily disrupt the flow of play and the experience for both players.

Players and judges should always strive for clear communication and a fair environment, but when it comes to triggers without visible effects, it's typically more constructive to ignore them and move forward rather than pausing the game or causing potential confusion by trying to backtrack. This maintains the integrity of the game while respecting both players' time and focus.
