Magus of the moon, drop DD, sacrifice Magus to something. Doable turn 4 easily, 3 with a little finagling (ramp on 2 after sac on 1 or a ritual effect, even a first
Rite of Flame will do) allowing another color to fairly trivially bring out Marit Lage. True, it's a little tougher than
Solemnity or
Vampire Hexmage, in that you need a sac outlet, but I believe there are at least a couple good ones.
I suppose this is why the sucker is banned in modern. When did they do that? I should keep up better.
