Could you use (org-agenda-skip-regexp "...") combined with
(org-agenda-skip-function (org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches))
Just change the ... in the above to the deadline/priority you want to
exclude in the block.
Sorry if this is at all unclear, sending from my phone so hard to write out
the code blocks.
