You could add "_" to the command to delete into the black hole
register::

:g/foo/d _

I'm not sure how well this would work for you, but you might
also define a new command that implies the underscore::

:command -nargs=* G g<args> _

But it might be better to disable/enable the clipboard in the
command body instead::

:command -nargs=* G set clipboard=exclude:.* | g<args> | set
clipboard=unnamed

But in my very limited testing, I didn't get a speedup with this
second option. Deleting to the black hole register was much
faster for me.

Also, the above commands aren't full-featured yet; for example,
they don't account for using ``:g`` with a range.
