Because this is a "special" question (it's the anchor question for [tag:retag]), I've [moved the comments to chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/58348/discussion-on-question-by-masked-man-why-didnt-kabuto-use-deidara-more-effectiv) and deleted them from this question to make JNat's comment above immediately visible. This is to help ensure that I or another moderator doesn't accidentally clear [tag:retag] off this question in the future.

I've added the [tag:retag] tag to this question. This tag should be used by new users when trying to add new tags, and should not be removed. Thus, I locked the post so that it does not get removed. I chose this post because it does not appear that newer and/or better answers can appear, and it does not appear to be editable into a question that may be a good fit for the site. If, by some reason, this is seen as wrong in some time in the future, let some mod know, so that we can unlock the post for whatever reasons seem necessary at that time. :)

Kabuto *did* use him effectively. He just got captured very early into the war.
