I believe the correct opening is Hermit/Hermit, and you should gain (and buy) only Hermits until you have 7 or the pile is out. Even if you only get three Market Squares, another Hermit+Madman lets you trigger them an extra time.

Or 9, if that's possible.

Agree on it working with 7 hermits (turned into 5 madmen and three hermits), but having only three market squares will cost you crucial +buys, I think.

Having only three buys on your megaturn is not a problem at all, if your opponent didn't get enough Hermits for any sort of megaturn.

I don't know about you guys, but the Hermit/Market Square megaturn combo is not something I'd be likely to figure out on my own unless someone used it on me, even though the 2 cards clearly go well together.

Hermit/Market Square is also an example of when you can easily ignore Cursers without any of the cards Robz mentioned.  Well, Mountebank's Copper is still frustrating.

I was thinking about posting that to this topic a couple days ago.

Also: YW-Tunnel is an excellent combo.
