So a White Queen, would logically need to be as strong as the Black Queen. And Cinder removed their currently-only way of getting a White Queen that could stand a chance against the Black Queen.

It's like getting your Queen killed before you even moved her. Your only hope now is to either Kill the King, or find a way to kill that Queen with your not-as-powerful remaining pieces. Or, recover the dead Queen. Humans kill gods often in myth. as i understood it the Maidens power level change with the seasons. as the current arc of RWBY takes place in fall and cinder is Fall/Autumn maiden she is at her most powerful at the time of the season 3 which is Fall/Autumn. her powers will weaken when winter comes. we don't know if the powers the maidens posses can even be combined as they are determined by the seasons and would not have a compounding effect to them.

also monty seems to change his mind about story points at times as seen by the fact that ruby and yang are related by having a common father.
