It seems to me he only needed really needed all three of them to get into Storybrooke; once he was in he just needed someone to do his dirty work since he couldn't reveal himself. So he doesn't need all three of them anymore.

The only reason he would've revived Maleficent would be intimidation, because the Charmings are so afraid of her.
