If an opponent has Thieving Fairies, is your Balance of Ishtar gain taken before or after the steal?
The forum reading is the best-supported one, but there is no official ruling and some players disagree.

The Fairies steal during the activation, before the card resolves. Your full gain from Balance of Ishtar still comes afterwards, even if you started at zero crystals.
