One natural possibility is that decadence is quite a mana-hungry mechanic, and so pairing it with green ramp effects would be natural.
Another option is raised by the observation that Code Geass has a fair amount of characters who die then turn out not to be dead. Green-black is more traditionally the reanimation colour, but the flavour in CG isn't Zombify or Rise from the Grave but rather Miraculous Recovery (which I'm thinking of reprinting here). Even though (((C. C.))) comes across like a Reassembling Skeleton, it's flavoured more like troll-style regeneration. So maybe can be the graveyard pair in this set?
