Return to Nature

Graveyard Exiling Mechanic

The mechanical colorpie article lists exiling cards in graveyard as primary black, secondary white, with no mention of green. Midnight Hunt had both Deathbonnet Hulk and Return to Nature, are these effects something we can expect to drop off in the next two years, and if not, where does green rank in this mechanic?

Green should be secondary.

Rules of Exiling Cards

Going back to my question about exiling cards from graveyards, is that a white-black-green ability? Looking at cards like Return to Nature as an example, could red and blue get a more restrictive version of the exile ability, like “exile target instant or sorcery from a graveyard?” What is the color pie for small scale graveyard exile?

Red can keep cards damaged by it from going to a graveyard and blue can shuffle cards from a graveyard back into a library.

Green's Destruction Capabilities

Unless I'm mistaken, the reason green can kill enchantment creatures and remain in pie is because you usually don't include a naturalize or return to nature in your deck to kill creatures. It's not guaranteed to work, unlike murder

The reason is green is allowed to destroy artifacts, enchantments and lands, so it can destroy artifact creatures, enchantment creatures and land creatures.
