Is there a good card for black that allows good drawing power in type 2? My black decks are rather slow in the drawing department...

It seems to me that not too long ago, there was a superlative card called Necropotence. Then, they neglected to reprint it in 6th edition. Still, you have a couple of options.
Greed - 6th edition card, a mainstay since the beginning days of Magic. The problem is, you need to spend 2 life and BB for every card you draw. Use this only if you have a deck based around the theme of draining life or gaining it.
Jayemdae Tome - 6th ed. Classic card drawing engine that's good if you have some extra mana.
Howling Mine - Excellent so long as your deck is designed to be fast and furious, meaning you'll get more use out of your extra cards than your opponent will. It's a risk card. It's virtual suicide if you're up against green.
Yawgmoth's Bargain - Urza Block. Very rare, hard to obtain, universally hated and just as irritating as Necropotence, if not more so. This is the best Type 2 card-drawing engine for black. The biggest catch is that in a month, this won't be Type 2 legal anymore. Sorry. Those are the breaks if you're going to succumb to the Type 2 format.
Grafted Skullcap - Urza Block. Again, if your deck is designed to expend it s cards in the shortest amount of time, this is actually better than Howling Mine. Unfortunately, like the Bargain, this is going away from Type 2 in a few weeks.
My advice? If you want to stick to Type 2, wait patiently for Invasion. Hopefully, you'll get something juicy in that set. Getting card-drawers like Bargain would be a waste of money this close to the next set cycling.

Infernal Contract is pretty darned good. Four cards for 1/2 your life. Although it is a Sorcery, it can really help break your opponents back in the late game, drawing you your Perish, Persecute, Engineered Plague, Masticore, Eradicate, Will, Corrupt, etc. If you are playing a slow Black deck, I recommend trying it out, as it takes some practice to play it correctly. Greed is decent, and may be good in a Highway Robbers/Haunted Crossroads deck, but the 3B cc is a little stiff for most decks. I'd suggest good ol' Jaemdaye Tome for drawing power if you want an artifact source.

you know what instead of having draw cards, just make a merc deck, since they search your deck, then you shuffle. it increases your chances to get something good

But still, black's current best drawing option (NO bargain does NOT count) is Bargaining Table because of all of your discard. But then, that's just me
