I need to tell SSH to use special IdentityFile for special user.
For example host specs wizard@host1.com wizard@any-other-host.org should use key ~/.ssh/id_wizard
I'd like to write
User wizard
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_wizard
but there is no such option in man ssh_config.
ssh ssh-config

You should be able to use the Match directive. Match is a more generalized form of the Host directive:
Match
Restricts the following declarations (up to the next Host or Match
keyword) to be used only when the conditions following the Match
keyword are satisfied. Match conditions are specified using one or
more criteria or the single token all which always matches. The
available criteria keywords are: canonical, exec, host, originalhost,
user, and localuser. The all criteria must appear alone or immediately
after canonical. Other criteria may be combined arbitrarily. All
criteria but all and canonical require an argument. Criteria may be
negated by prepending an exclamation mark (‘!’).
...
The other keywords' criteria must be single entries or comma-separated
lists and may use the wildcard and negation operators described in the
PATTERNS section. ... The user keyword
matches against the target username on the remote host.
So:

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_wizard
