I would wait on judging how much of a villian Maleficent will be. When Snowing came to her in the Mayor's office, she was very diplomatic, but also very clear. (She's smart, and knows when discretion really is the better part of revenge). She is not about to forgive the Charmings any time soon. And based on what we've seen of Lily so far, I don't expect her to be any more forgiving (in fact, I really expect her to be gunning for Snowing). Now, if Mother and Daughter team up, that could be a wicked, evil, magnificent combination of villiany.

And it's interesting that, even with Cruella's sociopathic personality, Chernabog still picked Malefecent as the one with the most potential for darkness. Granted that Cruella was going to have trouble converting potential darkness into kinetic darkenss until she could get that scrap of paper back from the Author, that does not change the potential that is there. I think the real question is who would Chernabog go after between Lily, Emma, and Maleficent (Emma already 'beat' Regina, and Mal 'won' over the other QOD).
