What Would You Class This Deck As?

It's anti-midrange is all i can say... highest drops are 4cmc, has a fair bit of control and some interesting interactions...
Any suggestions on improving the deck would be appreciated.
here's the deck:I Think I Wore It Better...
I would actually say that is is pushing close to BUG tempo. It wants to get out its win conditions around turn 2-4 and proceed to attack every turn until the opponent is dead while being unhindered by anything that opponent plays. It removes all or most of the creatures in its way and counters anything that might slow you down. It runs Duskmantle Seer which is very reminiscent of Dark Confidant which is a staple in every tempo deck that runs black. A lot of the mana creatures and enchantments seem a little odd and I am not entirely sure of why Mana Bloom is even in there. It has a few more creatures than most tempo decks but that is why I said it is close to tempo and in this case I don't really your mana dorks (Sylvan Caryatid ) as creatures. Just another land with a body attached to it which makes up for most of the excess creatures that you have for it to be considered tempo.
For it to be midrange it would need to have a few larger cards as the finisher and you would have to draw your games out longer. WIth this you want to try to win buy turns 5-6 at the earliest and preferably no more than 6-7 at the max which is about the time that midrange starts getting super scary.

Sylvan Caryatid starts off as being a good blocker. It alongside Mana Bloom allow me to get the full use out of Nightveil Specter sooner than typical MUD or MBD decks do, also allowing me to power out an early reaper or seer is good.

I guess if you are trying to get Nightveil Specter 's full use then they aren't so bad after all.

It's an idea, i'll give it a go before fnm and see if i can find a suitable replacement if the concept is a complete miss. They have helped me cast Hero's Downfall though in testing so i may keep a couple in...

I'd probably just call it BUG Midrange. It's got a lower curve than most control decks, but by no means is it an aggro build, so...
