White returns small creatures, usually mana value 3 or less, from your graveyard to the battlefield. It can also occasionally return larger creatures for 4-5 mana. This is usually flavored as a burst of divine energy, renewed hope, or unexpected survival. Breath of Life, Return Triumphant, Miraculous Recovery, and Helping Hand are examples.
Black is the best at self-reanimation. It also had the most mana-efficient general-use reanimator spells, but generally needs to pay 4+ mana under current design patterns. These modern spells usually grant a significant bonus to or alongside the returned creature or can pull from any graveyard. It's also the best color at moving creature cards from graveyard to hand. The flavor here is blasphemous and/or unholy necromancy or sheer stubbornness and determination. Reanimate, Bloodsoaked Champion, Necromantic Selection, Return to Action, and Raise Dead are some examples here.
Green is the best color for returning any permanent or any card from your graveyard to your hand. It has almost no ability to return creatures directly to the battlefield, although it can return lands. Green recursion effects tend to be flavored as natural growth, historical significance, healing energy, or stockpiled supplies. Regrowth, Bygone Marvels, Elven Cache, and Reviving Melody are examples.
In combination, white-green doesn't have a lot of recursion, focusing instead on stamina, community, and life and health. Reborn Hope and Atzocan Seer are a couple of examples.
Black-green is known as one of the strongest color pairs for graveyard interaction. It can reliably return creatures to the battlefield and other cards to hand. Flavorwise, scavenging, fungal undeath, and physical resilience show up in addition to the other black and green flavors. Back for More, Golgari Findbroker, and Bloodbond March are examples here.
White-black also has a lot of creature reanimation, as well as artifacts and enchantments. The flavor is a little loose outside of its white and black components, but heretical rituals are a minor theme. Priest of Fell Rites, Graceful Restoration, and Immortal Servitude are examples.
