Regina didn't have time to scanvenger for a magic bean or find another way to realm-jump. 1. Pretty sure Regina would have used the apprentice wand to jump realms. No mention Fairy Crystals also jump realms and Magic mirrors and Jefferson hat.So there are a ton of ways to travel between realms.

2. Regina had 8 years to gather up allies. That is more than enough time.

3. Robin was already confirmed to have Magic and so was Lily.

1. The Apprentice's Wand makes no sense. We also have no idea where it is, and I'm assuming it was left in Storybrooke.

2. Drizella was frozen during those eight years and nobody had any reason to suspect Gothel had any more allies. Regina only looked for Zelena after they were approached by Gothel in Lucy's eighth birthday. She had like, a day.

3. When was Robin confirmed to have magic? She's never used it once. Lily can turn into a dragon, that doesn't mean she's a witch.
