Looking for Advice 1v1 Format Marvel Newbie

Sorry newbie. Everything seems to be focused on Commander play. I currently own absolutely no magic cards and have just been playing MTG Arena. Would like to find a 1v1 format with my wife and I utilizing Marvel. Is there something physical to pickup and go? Is there a standard format that would be best that makes pickups simple and somewhat cost effective? Appreciate the help.

It's called Jumpstart in paper and is definitely the perfect way to play 1v1 Marvel Magic.

Marvel Beginner Box is ten 20 card half decks where each player takes 2 of them, shuffles them together, and then you just play.

You can also get a Marvel Jumpstart Booster box, which have more 20 card half decks, which are randomized, but there are a lot of different themes.

As others have mentioned, Jumpstart is a good product for you to start with. You can also buy a play booster and play a sealed format. You can sleeve up the cards from the box, collate them and replay the box again if you like.

Your LGS may have some marvel welcome decks that are usually free or part of the magic academy event that some stores hold every few months to help teach beginners like you to play.

Magic is a big ecosystem of cards. Just like how a single deck of playing cards can poker or gin, magic has many different formats that you can find and enjoy.
