I just realized I should have the Guildmage back in my hand from the first time I had Meren out. For some reason, I thought his ability started triggering at 1 xp ctr. Oh well.

Your Sovereign dies, my Shriekmaw dies, I get an xp ctr.

So, what happened is that you choose not to get the creature back when the trigger resolved......

Is it a choice though? It seems like a mandatory action... I'm not saying to go back and do it though, it's my fault for missing it.

I actually wasn't done with my turn, so I assume no responses to combat, you take 3 and at the end of my turn, Meren triggers and I return the Guildmage to my hand. Does that change your turn any?

Nope, my turn is the same.
The choice is in the rules test, "choose target creature card in my graveyard"
But they did change some of the rules with missed triggers a few years ago.
I forget what the actual wording is.
