A troll on this site... (No really, I want to know)
But back to the thread, a Dungeon player with Summoning, Destructive and Luck in the mid game.

The regular way you'd slaughter one with destructive, beat it till it's dead Dungeon doesn't benefit much from two schools, not when it has 2-3 rounds of life if so. Mind you a phoenix can sometimes help more than destructive when it comes to harcore creeping but..

So how do Academy counter this?
I had a game with Necro-Mutant where I crushed him as Sylvan.
My faithful warriors destroyed him more or less before he had a chance to act...

Was this for a Troll on HC or Dungeon...?
Dungeon with Warlock's luck, implosion, empowered spells, artifacts that give more mana, and that rushes you in the mid-game?

Yep that was pretty nasty, massive damage output + luck. Retribution was there for sure. Since I cant just say to pick Tactics and Defense(2% chance of popping out for Attack and Defense) with Academy then I would try different approach.
Acadmy focusing on getting as high knowledge as it can to prepare better defensive mini arties. Windstorm is a must versus Sylvan so you will slow down Dragons a bit. Also turtling with Gargs and Djinns is neat. The latter will surely go down in first turn but if they form a wall with gargs in 1st round you will have some extra time for shooting/casting.

I've not watched the replay, I'm just guessing here...
swift mind and berserk on dragons? though, chances for logistics are low
a fog veil + stormwind combo would be easier to get, I suppose

Pretty much. Dark and destructive are a dangerous path to walk, may or not work as you expect them to.

funny i remember i had a similar match-up my academy vs sylvan a while back;
i won though because i had rezzak w/ last stand and we ended up taking over each other's castles.
problem was that was my plan; by swapping castles he lost his avenger abilities(if i remember correctly) whereas my mini-arties still worked. you should have seen the look on his face when he couldn't use rain of arrows and favored enemy
