Anyway for clarification: if you have odd cost cards in your deck and get them all in the mulligan, genn will NOT trigger. This is easily tested by playing a quest in an otherwise even cost deck.
Anyone telling you otherwise is mistaken about this interaction
That's not the interaction that the OP was talking about. To include a quest, that would be part of your actual built deck - quests are not added to your deck after the match has started. OP was talking about cards that add new cards to your deck during the Start of Game phase, such as the new C'thun and Prince Malchezaar
No, I think he's talking about what Black Knight said, which was that Genn activates after your mulligan, meaning you can have odd cards in your hand after the mulligan so long as there are none in your deck at that point. And like the guy you responded to, I think that's wrong.

Genn shows up if after the mulligar your deck has only even cards. You can run odd cards on an even deck but if you draw them on the mulligan stage then when Genn checks your deck then you don't have odd cards."
If you’re running Genn Greymane & C’thun the Shattered, make sure to always keep Genn if you have him in your opening hand. If you mulligan it away then the HP discount doesn’t work.
In evenlock, I’ve found 100% success with this method. I know 40 some games is andecdotal, but once I saw someone mention this mulligan aspect, I made sure to always keep him in my hand and I’ve had no issues since.
Can’t speak to other decks, as I don’t exactly know what’s going on, but try keeping Genn and see if you have the same issue.

Ah I see - there was no quote to see what was being responded to so assumed it was a response to the thread topic. It's true that Genn will not trigger if you have an odd card in your mulligan hand (or anywhere else in your deck for that matter) - I believe this has specifically been clarified by Blizzard a while back if I recall.
Following up on this thread. So, I'm irkitated by another inconsistency. In Rogue decks that use Malevolent Strike, they get the discount from the C'Thun shattered pieces. That means the "don't start" in the deck. It seems to me, more proof that the C'Thun/Genn inconsistency is a bug. All Genn requires that "at the start of the game" there's no odd cards. #babyRage ;)
