I think I put this in the right place. If I didn't, I'm sorry and please move.
I'm looking for the top 10 best B card draw. It doesn't matter which format because it's going into a casual deck, so broken, if it's out there, is encouraged. Creature, sorcery, instant, or enchantment form will work.
I know Phyrexian Arena and Dark Confidant are on this list, but what else is there?

I had completely forgotten about Skullclamp. That looks like it will fit nicely into my deck. Would Yawgmoth's Will be put into this category, or would it fit into CA category?

Yawgmoth's Will technically goes into the win-con category.
Anyway, don't count out Ambition's Cost or Ancient Craving (functional reprint of Ambition's Cost). Skeletal Scrying is also nice, if you're okay with exiling the cards in your graveyard. Ooh, and Promise of Power is really good too, particularly since it can double as a threat when needed.
I should also note that I'm primarily a Commander/EDH player, so those are the black draw cards that I find particularly good in that format; your mileage may vary.

Dog gone, that last card is banned in vintage? LOL!
Also, what is ante?

An old rule where you basically bet the top card from your library on the game. Adding to the ante meant you were putting another card into the bet.

In order of power level:
1. Yawgmoth's Bargain
2. Necropotence
3. Ad Nauseam
Some others included Dark Confidant, Phyrexian Arena, Phyrexian Etchings, Dark Tutelage, Greed, Necrologia, Promise of Power, Ambition's Cost, Night's Whisper, Infernal Contract, Cruel Bargain, Null Profusion, Skeletal Scrying, Seizan, Perverter of Truth, Sign in Blood, and Reprocess. Of course, there's always Skullclamp for uber brokeness if you have a bunch of creatures.

Combo is a part of magic. If you cant deal with combo then your not a magic player.

Ante cards, dexterity cards (doing something physical with the card for its effect; ex: Chaos Orb), and Shahrazad are the only banned cards in Vintage.
The Ante cards are also able to exchange ownership without winning the game; see Tempest Efreet and Timmerian Fiends.

I put Sign in Blood in most of my budget black decks. It's not amazing, but many people underrate it. It's not often you can get draw 2 for 2.

I might switch 1 and 2 but I agree with your top 3.

Graveborn Muse, or Necrotits is what I more commonly refer to her as, is a machine on her own and possibly the best zombie for the tribe.

It's barely arguable. 7 cards for 1 mana is infinitely better than any other draw spell out there. The fact that it has you discard isn't much of a downside. Wheel of Fortune got banned in Legacy, and that isn't even close to this in power level. Sure, anteing a card is bad, but drawing 7 cards probably means you win.

I find it amusing that someone necro'd this thread from 2011.
