Lol... Yeah but I didn't have a frosty in that game
But its true, you would have been 2 pieces up after that (an LW and Muddy). But you lost only 2 points of stat lol).
So for same sides, here is what I do: I take the initial LW blow, and if I see an opening, I charge in. If not, I gradually shift all of my units to the opposite side of my side of the board, basically reducing pressure on my knights. I start shifting the back, and then the front. Basically making it easier for me to make a same side flank run, and to make it an opposite sides game. Sounds corny, but it is effective.
Although, I got beat by a same side double frost set, which was just too much for me to handle. But in essence, an LW would not have helped me much, and it gives me one additional mobile unit. Also, given that I have a frost and furgon now, I don't need the structural attributes that an LW would provide to my form. I can substitute blocking units with shrubs, and ward units away with frosty.
And, no doubt, I can freeze a same side LW. This forces them to usually make the mistake of immediately defocussing with muddy or scout. Either way, I get a range unit in that case. Something more valuable than a knight of mine, which still has the chance to block (lucky or not).
