2p kitchen table formats? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Cube is lots of fun! A tailored 2-person cube is customizable and you can play over and over and have new experiences.

I used to have a "Sudden Death" cube where you start at 1 life that was a lot of fun

Mini cube is the way to go. Scrounge up 180 moderately coherent cards (including about 15% cheap mana fixing lands), Housman draft that shit and you're off to the races.

I didn't realize cubes could be mini. I'll have to check that out
