I disagree, most pirates have piracy maxed out with 72 skirmishes they are able to earn 5M just from piracy tech. If we add few plunder attacks to the count good pirate can rack up 6-7M daily so yea levis can be counted as cheap voodoo
Definitely on point, but not exactly accurate.
Assuming Max Skirmish Tech, a player can have a total of 172 skirmish points (72 base + 5 for each Skirmish Tech Level). However they are limited to earning 3 points per day plus 1 for each level of Skirmish Tech. So a non-pirate can earn 23 skirmish points per day max. A pirate (Jolly Roger) earns an extra 5 per day, bringing that total to 28. If you include potential failures, a pirate (Jolly Roger) should be able to consistently obtain 20 successful skirmish attacks per day, every day.
Assuming max piracy tech, that's 1.4M per day and that doesn't include the cargo.
Even if the total success per day is only 15 (as there are other pirates and players who use skirmish) that's still 1.05M gc a day just from Max Piracy Tech.
As for the obtainability of Leviathan and others and your claim of it being cheap for traders; having gc doesn't make leviathan or any other card cheap. While having gold coin helps with the credit exchange, there are other means to obtaining credits and needed voodoo cards.
For Credits, the first is an even playing field called real money. Everyone pays the same amounts for the same amount of credits, except special event purchase rates for first time buyers. Then you have the card and ship markets that allow you to sell your ships or cards for credits. Pretty equal in those senses as well in regards to playing style.
For Cards, you have presents. Then you have the card market and booster packs. Yes they cost credits but you can sell your existing cards on the market and pay for other cards and booster packs. Isn't exactly one sided.
