When I read the effect of gold, copper and bronze dragon I assumed that they're banned. The effect based on D20 just seems overpowered... I suppose the wizards website is correct and that they are in fact banned. On the other hand why they even bother to print these cards seems odd
Wizards is notoriously slow to update the gatherer. This is reflected in all cards in Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate not being marked legal for any format.
I'm not up-to-date on the release schedule. How long has this been out for this problem to still be a thing?
Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate cards with the CLB set code are permitted in the Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats. Notably, they are not legal in the Standard, Pioneer, or Modern formats.
What do you think? Are gold, copper and bronze dragon overpowered?
The reason why I think it is is because of the D20 effect. Let's say you roll half of its potential, you'll get 10 flying tokens, 10 counters, 10 treasure tokens. If your opponents don't have removal in their hand chances are you win. On the other hand there are other cards that do that too, especially for 6+ mana...

Since the question has been answered, I am locking this thread to avoid further power level discussion, which has no place on the Rules forum.

I'm confused because the official wizards website and scryfall give contradictory info.
According to gatherer.wizards.com the "ancient dragons"(gold, copper, bronze, silver, brass) are illegal in all formats.

According to scryfall they're legal in commander/EDH

See https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats/commander for card legality in commander format.
More than likely Gatherer just hasn't been updated for set release yet.

Nope not overpowered, just a gatherer bug.
