Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Scrying ability adds a level of deck manipulation.
  • Gets stronger with each scry, potentially becoming a significant threat.
  • Good toughness for its mana cost, offering some initial survivability.
• Weaknesses:
  • Requires synergy with Elf cards and scrying mechanics.
  • Initial power is low for the cost.

Deck Utility:

• Elf Tribal: A strong candidate for an Elf tribal deck, providing both deck manipulation and a growing threat.

• Scry Synergy: Can be slotted into decks that have multiple ways to scry, not just through Elf attacks.

• Commander: A suitable commander for an Elf tribal deck or a deck that wants to make use of scry mechanics.

• Midrange and Control: His ability to get stronger as you manipulate your deck makes him viable in midrange or control decks where you have the time to set up your board state.

Celeborn the Wise offers deck manipulation and growing power, but to make the most of it, you'll likely want to build around Elves or scrying mechanics. It has potential in both Elf tribal decks and any deck that can take advantage of scrying frequently.
