Indeed! Freeze works in much the same way, but rather thwarts opposing tempo instead. However, you don't always have to trade CA for tempo, you can often get a better deal: Consider if someone wasted a buff on a teammate that you then bounce. Or even two buffs. Or you bounce a threepeater behind a torchwood, causing neither of those cards to be useful.

Or, let's say you use a 2/1 chilli bean for 3 to freeze and damage a 6/4 for 5 for example. Then next turn, you use an iceberg lettuce on it, killing it with the bean. What just happened there? The way I see it, the bean is overcosted by 2 due to freeze, and the iceberg lettuce traded with the fatty. So, you payed 2+1 = 3 to kill the fatty and your bean survived, no card disadvantage and cost advantage for you.
