Think about it:

Comparing it to Wall Knights and Citrons...

-Uncrackable protects the plant hero from damage

-Peel Shield protects plants from damage

-Frozen Tundra is similar. It protects both zombies and the hero, but only in ground lanes as it prevents those plants from dealing damage. Non-ground plants can still damage both the hero and the zombies.

It seems fair, but Frozen Tundra doesn't protect from as much in comparision...

-"When hurt/destroyed" plants will still have their effects when frozen. A frozen Mirror Nut will still damage the zombie hero, whereas Uncrackable would block a Jester. Prickly Pear will still do 4 damage to a zombie here while frozen, but a shielded zombie wouldnt take that damage

-Bonus attacks: Making a plant do a bonus attack would unfreeze it, while doing bonus attack against Shielded wouldn't change anything. A frozen repeater will unfreeze itself during combat then do a bonus attack, whereas a Shield would nulify both repeater attacks

The only exception where freezing is better would be against Strikethrough plants, which damage both Zombies and the hero. Then it would be better to freeze

Also... Uncrackable and Peel Shield draw a card when played. Frozen Tundra doesn't

Maybe add "Draw a Card" to Frozen Tundra as well? However, Frozen Tundra happens in the trick phase, after the plants have played all their tricks, so the plant hero can't fight back from it. Though adding "Draw a card" to it wouldn't hurt.
