A card designed to help start or extend Mayakashi plays is revealed from the official Japanese Twitter account!

Level 1 WIND Zombie Effect Monster
ATK 600
DEF 400
You can only use the (1)st effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: you can Special Summon 1 “Mayakashi” monster from your Deck, except “Winged Mayakashi – Hajun”.
(2) You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck, except “Mayakashi” monsters.

Note: Hajun happens to be the name of the lord of demons in the sixth heavenly realm of the world of desires in Japanese Buddhist cosmological thought. Effectively he is equivalent to the Buddhist concepts of Pāpīyas and Mara, both beings who are the embodiment of the concept of desire and illusion that distract a Buddhist from concentrating on enlightenment and thus Nirvana, allowing themselves to escape the cycle of suffering caused by karma.

Between this card and Dakki, the Mayakashi seem to be naming themselves after beings that tempt and undermine and corrupt.
