When I watch my replays on HSreplay. Some of the replay’s I’m able to see the cards my opponent picks at the start of the match, along with the cards they draw. While other replays it does not show any of the cards that my opponent has except for the ones played.
They can go through their entire deck, and the cards are still hidden.
It would probably help if you shared the replays. My guess is that your opponent either played all the cards and, so, the info was eventually revealed, or (less likely) the deck tracker is making a guess based on the other cards played. It’s also possible that the deck tracker is revealing info that shouldn’t be revealed, as I know that’s happened before, but sharing the replays would help clear it up
Keep in mind… your opponent may be using the same tracker, in which case it has the information. If they are not using the tracker, it only knows what cards were played (or discarded, destroyed, etc.) - anything you can see during the game your tracker can capture.

What part of what I wrote was confusing to you?
80% of the time when you reply to my posts you it’s very evident that you haven’t fully absorbed what I wrote before you repley.
ahhh…
Not sure how you came to that guess.
Thank you, that makes sense.
This would be my guess as well.
I have noticed that Firestone app will also show information that HSReplay wouldn’t show every once in a while…it shows things it shouldn’t show…such as what card an opponent got from playing Banker and that information is usually hidden.
It’s rare, but it happens.
Sometimes the apps know what the player has based on information you might not be paying attention to. For example, if the opponent tries to discover a spell in their deck and only 2 options are shown, and the opponent plays that card and then later plays the other card, the tracker will automatically know to plug that other discover card into the info and show that card in the replay because it knows that it can’t be anything else.
I think this is possible. I try my best to understand, but sometimes, I do not. That’s often part of why I reply. That said, I am not above blame in any miscommunication. Just start from the assumption that I am trying my best

My best guess is that the particular interaction is coded poorly. For example, if Banker is coded to burn a card, then hide the burn animation from one player, it might still technically send that information to the other player in a way that a tracker could pick up but a human couldn’t. (Then it adds the burned card to the Deathrattle)
If so the tracker probably violates the rules in some way but that’s not my problem.
I’ve used the HSReplay tracker for years and every so often something like this happens - they do their best to be on top of it but if the client sends data to the tracking app that it shouldn’t the app will use that info, and not necessarily intentionally (from the devs’ perspective). They do notify Blizz if they discover data is leaking in a way they believe it shouldn’t.
You see the card they have played or discarded.
At the start of the game, if you are able to see the card they mulliganed away, it’s because they played/burned/discarded those cards later in the game.
And I appreciate that you are truly trying to understand, but it just feels like if you spend a tad bit longer thinking about it or reading it over another time, you might get a partial answer or all. I find it rather frustrating when I state something only to be asked a question that I’ve clearly stated in my post. That’s all. Granted I’m not always clear but for the times I am, it’s just one of those things that irks me.
