Maleficent is pretty much the cream of the EF crop but those bunch aren’t as strong as others.

In Once, battles are usually won by speed or quick wits or just pure raw power differences.

It isn’t Mal’s fault that people have perfected the sword throw into Dragon’s weakpoint.

She didn’t lose to Snow and David. She looks like she was weak from childbirth and didn’t want to hurt her child.

She didn’t lose to Cruella. She simply didn’t understand Cruella. Plus, she probably didn’t think Cruella could control her.

So, Mal just isn’t as clever as one would think. The most clever witch has been Zelena by far.
