2p kitchen table formats? (self.mtg)

I'm still somewhat new to MtG, and have mainly played commander, along with a bit of modern which was a little too intense for me. What are some good formats to look into for kitchen table, 2 player mtg with my wife? Commander is great but tends to want a 4 player format.

Bear in mind we'd rather not buy new cards, but used cards and proxies are fine, got no major price constraints since I'm happy to print up a card if it's going to be too hard to find.

@socialjusticewizard i don't think i can post on that website, but i really have been enjoying Jumpstart as a great way to play with new players. It's reusable too, as long as you don't pick the same two colors to shuffle together.

I also recommend JumpStart (and by extension JumpStart 'cube' once you are a good bit more familiar with the game). Once you have it built is is a great way to just pick up and play.
