This card has gotten me to think; how do I bypass this Eldrazi's Abilities? Well, I'd like a list of things that are:
A: Lands (They aren't Spells; even Dryad Arbor.)
B: Odd mana costed. ( = 0, thus that is Even; though, as a Variable, while on the stack it equals an amount payed, be it Mana, or whatnot (Pointed out by cdkime.)...
C: Can be used in formats where Void Winnower is legal, & can bypass by Cost of both Card + Effect.
D: In Commander/Brawl, The Commander must be Odd as well. Sorry to a lot of stuff... :(
E: Costs in card effects don't seem to be affected... I wonder if this matters...
F: If you want, you can make an alt. version of your deck for this challenge, given it applies to all regulations.
Good Luck! I'm trying to beat this thing w/ my deck thus far, & they'll be edited because of this!
Now, can anyone lead me to a list of Odd Mana Costed cards as of GRN (Guilds of Ravnica)?
I'll just check the list anyway. Good point, though... I'll have to edit the OP for this... Thanks.

If this is for commander, I would look at building a Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign deck.

What SteelSentry said. That commander is literally THE commander for that deck.

Little note about -costed cards with Void Winnower's ability. -costed cards are one of two situations where a card's converted mana cost can change (the other being split cards). In most zones, does equal zero, as you've stated, but there is one exception. While on the stack, is equal to the amount of mana paid for the purpose of calculating converted mana cost.
So, if an opponent has a Void Winnower, you could cast Abandon Hope where X = 1, but not when = 2. Likewise, you could not cast Fireball when X = 1, but could if X = 2.
This issue is specifically addressed in Void Winnower's Gatherer rulings.
Here is a list of all odd-costed cards. With 9,178 odd-costed cards in the game, the list isn't going to be helpful. You should just run Gatherer searches as normal, then add "CMC of 1, OR 3, OR 5, . . . etc.".
