Why didn't Kabuto use Deidara more effectively?


You got your facts a bit wrong actually:

> He was actually summoned later, as a part of the Special Ops Batallion (or
> whatever the name may be), along with Sasori and Shin. They fought against
> Kankurou and Sai.  
>  In that battle, he was sealed (along with Sasori) inside Kankurou's
> Kuroari. This, along with the fact that Kabuto was still testing the
> summoned ninja (since he still allowed them to retain their personalities
> and fighting style), is probably the reason why he was not used more
> effectively.

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