Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Maokai win most extended trades due to Maokai's root and your sustained damage with spell shield to negate Brand's stun or W.
Post-6, the lane becomes more dangerous as Yunara's R permanently activates her Q splash and upgrades her W into a slowing laser, making extended fights increasingly favor them if Brand lands his combo.

Use your E to push waves fast, then look for short trades when Brand's combo is on cooldown — your spell shield (E) should be saved specifically for Brand's W or stun to deny his passive stacks from proccing.
Maokai should root Yunara first since she has no escape pre-6, forcing her to take damage or burn flash.

You outpush this lane hard with your E bouncing through the wave, so prioritize shoving waves to deny Yunara her preferred extended-fight pattern and force her to farm under tower where her splash damage is less efficient.
Crashing waves also creates roam windows for Maokai and reduces Brand's ability to poke you freely.

Do not use your spell shield reactively on Brand's Q stun alone — save it for his W or the moment he has full passive stacks on you, as eating a full Brand combo through your shield is the primary way you lose this lane.
Burning E on a minor poke spell leaves you exposed to the real kill threat.
