Chromatic Lantern or Joiner Adept?

Commander Deck Help forum

I have a copy of Chromatic Lantern in every one of my EDH decks, but several of my EDH decks have a strong emphasis on creatures, so I am wondering if I should replace the lantern with Joiner Adept, since that creature has the same ability as the lantern. The adept is only a 2/1 creature, but I imagine that most players shall not bother to destroy such an innocuous creature, so what does everyone else say, about that? Should I replace Chromatic Lantern with Joiner Adept? What about Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, instead? Would that creature be a suitable replacement for Chromatic Lantern, instead?
