Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Synergizes well with any deck that has a focus on scrying, as she adds a +1/ +1 counter to a target creature every time you scry.
  • Can serve as a scry engine by herself, though at a relatively high cost.
  • Versatile Colors, Fitting Into Simic Decks That Often Have Plenty of Both Scry And +1/ +1 Counter Mechanics.
• Weaknesses:
  • Relatively weak stats for a 2-cost creature if you can't make immediate use of her abilities.
  • High Mana Cost for the activated scry ability.
  • Needs other cards with scry for maximum effectiveness.

Deck Utility:

• Scry Synergy: Naturally fits into decks that use scrying as a mean or library manipulation.

• +1/+1 counters: Adds an extra dimension to decks focused on +1/ +1 counteres by letting you add counterters more frequently.

• Control or midrange: Could be useful in Control or midrange decks where scrying to find Answers and slowly building up a board presence are Both relevant.

• Commander: Coulde Serve as a commander for a Simic deck Focused on scrying and +1/ +1 counter, although she would likely not be the most powerful option available.

Arwen undómiel sacrifices a unique blend of scrying and creature enhancement. She serves as both a user and enabler of the scry mechanic, offering an incremental advantage the more you can use it. Her activated ability is a bit Costly, but in a deck designed around these mechanics, She Could Be a Solid Addition. Overall, a card that provides value about time and synergizes well with specific strategies.
