Mata Hari & Orun

So the only parallel I can think of is:

Can you play Into the Fire or Out of the Pan on Mata Hari? If yes, then you can play Orun on Mata Hari.

Different wording, so they may have different rulings.

Check this:
Transcendent Laibon
Cardtype: Master
Clan:
Burn Option
Unique master.
Put this card on a Laibon with at least three Aye and three Orun. During your untap phase, this Laibon gains 1 blood. Allies and younger vampires must burn 1 blood or life to attempt to block this Laibon or to target this Laibon with a action. Burn this card if this minion is not ready or has fewer than three Aye or three Orun.

Ask yourself what the conditions are to use the Burn Option.

Why would you want to play any of these cards on Mata Hari? Since the cards say "...this Laibon..." and MAta Hari isn't a Laibon except for the moment when you play the card on her, they suck.

Mata Hari with 3 Oruns can play Unholy Radiance. Or Exile. Or Tons of Duskworks (if they're Ayes)

Neither Brutal Influence nor Exile specify "Liabon", they just require a minion with Orun to tap, so, if Orun can be played on her, Mata Hari could potentially play those cards without triggering the various "burn Orun" effects.

Of course, Mata Hari doesn't the disciplines required to play either card, so there are some problems with the plan.

The rulebook gives permission to use Burn Option in one condition:
Some cards that have a requirement also have a burn option icon. This icon means that a Methuselah who doesn't control a minion that meets the requirements may discard the card during any Methuselah's untap phase.
