We have some doubt about these two versions.
My original idea was to give it steal skill but seems OP, which one is better? Or how can be changed this mechanich?

Stealing from the hand is too OP, i think. That way you effectively remove a draw turn from the opponent.
Stealing from the deck, instead, only takes a card the opponent have yet to draw. It doesn't seems so OP.
An alternative could be to copy a card from the hand/deck without removing it from the opponent hand/deck.

this card looks a lot like mindgate. because of that I think it is no added value to the game.

No because it steal a card.

Stealing from deck (option I prefere) is good for stall deck, and break opponent combo

I think the ability cost is a wee bit high, but otherwise good idea. I personally love the idea of a mill deck, and this would add to it. Prefer this over the other bird.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned this:  http://sales.starcitygames.com/cardsearch.php?singlesearch=Thieving+Magpie  (pic related)

Though, I suppose that shouldn't directly bear on whether to add the card, since it can be renamed/rethemed if implemented (a la Minotaur/GotP)

Don't worry, a thieving magpie is real bird, so it's normal to come up with some ideas about stealing.

I don't understand the ability. Does it automatically take 3 :darkness and steal a card?
