What other Modified-legal cards have the ability to block Trainers (not supporters) other than this Dragonite ex?

In other words, is there a card that can do what Deafen can do but is quicker and easier to get out? :D
 
Bonsly DP (blocks Trainers)
Croagunk MT (blocks Supporters)
Glailie MT (blocks Trainers and Supporters)
Lombre SW (blocks Supporters)

There's also Walrein ex PK, but I don't think that qualifies as "easier to get out".

Roseanne's Research will go through Deafen since it stated there(in Draggy ex d) "Your opponent can't play any Trainer cards(except for Supporter Cards)". Since, Roseanne's Research is a Supporter, Deafen will not block it. As for the Stadiums, Deafen WILL block it because Dragonite ex d is Pre-DP card. So, when it states Trainer, it includes all Trainers, Supporters and Stadiums, regardless of set. This case is somehow similar to Mawile CG's Mining attack;

Q. Mawile's "Mining" attack says to search your deck for a Trainer. Can it also get a Supporter or Stadium?
A. Yes, since Mawile is a pre-Diamond and Pearl card, when it says "Trainer" it includes all Trainers, Supporters and Stadiums, regardless of set. (Oct 25, 2007 PUI Rules Team)

It'll block DP-on Stadiums because Dragonite ex's definition of Trainers includes Stadiums. It won't block Roseanne's, however, because it's a Supporter, and Deafen states it doesn't block Supporters.

Thank you, Chairman Kaga! I was hoping to find something less flippy... but I think I can make these work ;)
 
Unfortunately all the Modified-legal trainer locks require a flip, except for Dragonite and Walrein. I guess the flip is the cost for being able to break them out early.
 
I wish there was a Body or Power that could do that :p But I'm pretty sure that if there is, it's not Modified-legal.
