besides, you will need A LOT of sw to get to lvl 200. Free players would probably need to aim for 5* cards from cq, sq, tower, shrine and slowly build up. I would imagine that a solid year (casually or 6-9 months seriously) of playing the game will enable you to get good 5* cards that will eventually push you closer to the lvl 200 mark. I will let you know in about a year's time if this method is successful or not :)
