Although card stealing was already possible, the new buff to Thoughtripper's Cutlass has made this more prevalent. It occurred to me, when playing Serena vs Serena mirror matches, they are very entertatining to play, but probably not entertaining to watch. Likewise, when I steal an opponent's Tidal Wave, it influences their actions after that point, and should be apparent to the audience. What's missing is information that both players have, but the spectator doesn't: which cards were stolen.
I propose that when cards are stolen (through whatever means) when both players can know which card that was, then it should also be apparent to the audience. Turn them face-up to spectators the same way that they'd be faceup if someone has an effect that allows looking at hands (except specific to the stolen cards). This gives more context to the game, without giving away any secrets, and makes spectating more engaging. Just an idea...
