Being my first Hermit/MS game, it was unfriendly one: I had a 2/5 opening. My opponent also has 5/2, but doesn't know the combo, and thus buys random cards, including a Soothsayer.
Undaunted, I still opened Hermit/nothing and build up on Hermits. The Soothsayer wasn't harmful: I could easily trash the Curse.
So I win the Hermits 9/1 (Counting Madmen) (so obviously he didn't know the combo). I got 6 Market Squares when I pulled the trigger. My opponent had already gotten 3 Provinces, but that was no worry.
Once I drew my deck with 3 Madmen, I realised that I had made a mistake, I didn't get something for my Hermits to trash. But I still had a way out: I could trash a Market Square and go on with my turn. So I managed to end the game with $58 and 7 buys.
Mind you, through all this, I am totally not an expert player, and had totally zero experience with the Combo (I don't own any expansions, so couldn't practice online, and I don't own DA IRL either). And even with an unlucky start, I still managed to pull it all off in just 14 turns. This shows the power of the Combo.
On a side note: this is the first game I have played that Sea Hag has ever been totally ignored. Probably due to two 2/5 starts.

Sea Hag is one of my favorite cards to ignore. You should try it more often :-)
It took me several tries playing the H/MS deck to realize how to play it correctly. And by "correctly" I mean "to the point where I actually do anything the entire game," so well done.

this cant be good

You're not supposed to trash your starting estates for the combo. Those 3 Estates are the cards used to pull this off.

I usually trash two of them and leave the third to use for my first Hermit in the megatury. Past that, I can just use the gain from the previous Hermit as something to trash for the next one.

But that gain would be used on another Market Square! More Golds!

How often there are any Market Squares left in the supply when you go off? Usually my opponent has no idea what he's doing, then piledrives them and I'm left with 3 or something like that.

The reason was because both people opened 5/2, and another curser (Soothsayer) was on the board.
BTW, I have once lost with a Chapel/Witch opening against Chapel/Silver the going all Labs without a Witch. And I saw your "How to ignore Familiar and still win" video.

Soothsayer isn't really a reason to ignore Sea Hag. In a game with no Hermit/Market Square, you probably want both or just Sea Hag.
