A deck focused on +1/+1 counters and aggressive creature strategies, such as a White Weenie or a Selesnya Aggro deck, would benefit from including Elite Scaleguard. While it provides a nice boost with bolster 2 and can help control the opponent's creatures during attacks, there are potentially better options like Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit or Abzan Falconer that offer more versatile abilities and synergies in similar decks. Elite Scaleguard could see play as a budget option or as a situational tech card in certain metagames.

Bolster itself doesn’t target any creature, though some spells and abilities that bolster may have other effects that target creatures. For example, you could put counters on a creature with protection from white with Abzan Skycaptain’s bolster ability.
