TLDR
Izzet wizards goes MYTHIC on 4th try at 5/6 wins at Diamond 1 tier.
Wow. I ripped off 5 wins in a row to start the night. Finished 10-4 to rank up.
Shot #1. Mull to 5 on the draw and was 4 damage away from going 6-0 through diamond tier 1 to Mythic. All I have to do is untap. I have 2 electrostatic fields out and burn in hand. Then my opponent rakdos theater of pain just went off. I felt sick to my stomach. Like the magical run was over. Record 5-1 plus 4.
I proceeded to win my next game for shot #2. Lost. Horribly to a golgari Krasis deck But hey I got to go 1st and mull to 5 and keep a garbage hand. I go 1st about 1/5 games or less. I know you don't believe it. But the other night I played 24 games. Was on the draw 20 of them and went 13-11. Record 6-2 plus 4.
Feeling down at getting curb stomped I proceed to lose another close game. Seriously feeling like I blew my best chance at shot #1. Am I just going to bounce between 3-4-5 wins and never get there? Record 6-3 plus 3.
I won 2 in a row for shot number #3. I am as usual on the draw. So in typical fashion after a couple of wins in a row....I mull to 6 and drew a garbage 2 mana do nothing hand but I don't want to mull to 5 with 19 land deck. Lose to Izzet drakes with tons of counter spells. Record 8-4 plus 4
I win and get shot #4 vs gates. A good match up as I can go all in damage to the face and not worry about killing dudes. Yep on the draw. But I have a good hand. I punt horribly and don't do 4 extra damage. I cast goblin electromancer instead of casting shock. The shock in graveyard would give my 2 lava runners +1/+0. So I attack for 2 with my 2 lava runners still at 1/2. My opponent then gates ablaze to wipe my board. So now I have no creatures instead of electromancer in hand. And I have done 4 less damage. I got opponent down to 6 with shock and risk factor in hand and electrostatic field in play. I am super irritated that they should be at 2. So I cast risk factor. And this gate deck SYNCOPATED my risk factor. They go to 5. I don't even get to recast risk factor because it gets exiled.
The next turn I rip a shock. So I cast shock #1. It resolves putting them to from 5 to 2 with electrostatic field trigger. I cast shock #2... they didn't have the counter spell. I am waiting for my shock to resolve to to rank up. And my opponent taps 4 mana and casts chemsters insight with counter mana still available. My opponent is at 1 on shocks cast trigger of electrostatic field. I have no cards in hand. This is it. Do I level or lose to gates miracle come back. My opponent wiffs and drawing a counterspell and I rank up! Record 10-4.
