there are other optional triggers than "if" effects
The effect of "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]" is triggered when it is [[Tribute Summon]]ed, and the effect requires it to [[destroy]] 1 monster on the field.
'''Optional Trigger Effects''' are effects that don't happen automatically when the trigger condition is fulfilled, the [[control]]ling player decides whether to activate it or not. These effects involve cards like "[[Mystic Tomato]]", "[[Peten the Dark Clown]]", or "[[Dark Magician of Chaos]]". With "When... you can..." Optional Trigger Effects it is possible to [[Missing the timing|Miss the Timing]]. However, with Optional Trigger Effects, like ones with the structure, "If... you can..." Optional Trigger Effects, the effect can be activated at the first possible opportunity to activate cards and effects after the "If" trigger condition was met (skipping over any chain opportunities that forbid that particular effect from activating at that time, such as the [[Summon negation_window|Summon Negation Window]].)
When two Optional Trigger Effects try to activate at the same time such as two copies of "Mystic Tomato" destroy each other in battle, neither will miss the timing, as the last thing to happen was both being sent to the Graveyard. Both of the effects trigger at the same time, and form a [[Chain]]. The Turn Player's effect becomes Chain Link 1, and the opponent's effect becomes Chain Link 2.
