So I recently built a Standard Mono-Blue Control deck. Here it is:

Of course, being mono-blue, it has one large weakness: Mistcutter Hydra .

(Well, and I guess anything else that's uncounterable and/or has protection from blue, but most don't come in the same package like the Hydra)

So is there anything I can sideboard or add that can counter such a threat? I'm at a loss.

Cyclonic Rift comes to mind, but that's the only thing I can think off the top of my head without splashing.

Cyclonic Rift is a 4-of anyway. :)

AEtherize can be used too, BUT ratchet is better

You've got the Rift and Ratchet Bomb as choices, the Bomb is 20,000,000 times better though

Definitely pack 3-4 ratchet bombs. Most decks that run hydra are also packin' skylasher now, and these things have different CMCs. Therefore, a bomb at 1 and 2 will work.
