I also preferred the DLC over the Citadel DLC and 'that other' DLC...

 

As for whether or not Leviathan always wins...not really.  The huge CMC is only one lower than Power/Toughness - not nearly low enough to offset it's disadvantages (although it was revolutionary at the time to have a keyworded 10/10 for CMC 9).  You need massive amounts of Islands and/or tap manipulation to be able to use it effectively, and it's too vulnerable to Terror type spells.

 

All in all, you'd probably be better off Animating an Aladdin's Lamp.

I don't think you even need headcanon for that - Shepard updates Hackett after each Leviathan mission, and presumably someone on the Normandy keeps official mission logs. I think it's safe to assume that the Alliance, or at least some within the Alliance leadership, know everything Shepard knows about the Leviathans.

Hackett even says that galactic history books are being rewritten as a result of the "Leviathan Codex". 

Everyone knows about them, the shipwreck trap they use to acquire thralls, and their artifacts post Leviathan DLC. They can't do a damn thing without getting an asteroid smashed into their planet. They can sit down in their ocean trench and bloviate about their superiority all they want, unless they grow some fingers, develop underwater metallurgy and the ability to build spaceships, they are stuck down there.

If it were up to me, I'd drop the asteroid on Desponia regardless of any perceived threat (wish the game would've provided such an option). Those things wrote the Bratalyst, then cowered in their ocean and watched while trillions upon trillions of people were killed across thousands of cycles as a result of their work, and their ancestors don't express the slightest remorse or even acknowledge it as a mistake. Someone has to pay for that, and besides, I'm sure the Hanar would like another colony or something in a million years or so when the planet is liveable again.

Personally? I am too intrigued by their abilities to casually dismiss them to extinction.

 

That genetic structuring, something in their makeup that allows them to command obedience from organic life is intriguing to me. Plus they do end up helping to fight the Reapers in the end regardless, so that to me makes up for their lack of action in prior cycles given they helped the one that humanity was involved in, so their useful to me, at least as potential baselines for possible biological augmentation.

 

Imagine a human that could invoke Indoctrination or something similar to it, it would be a intriguing result of the Reaper conflict to say the least, why scavenge and scrap together technology from Reaper husks, use their leftovers when you can create.
