So i'm running a build of red, balck, and blue control. It has lots of board control and counters combined with Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and Chandra, the Firebrand as the main win conditions. I have Jace, Memory Adept as another win con when milling becoems more relevent for me. I'm running a playset of nigtviel-specter to speed up the milling a bit and also increase my potential cards to play with. I want to mana fix here so I can consistantly play the cards I exile away. What do you think it better to use? Chromatic Lantern or Realmwright ?

The lantern. Realmwright is too easy to kill.

Realmwright only lets you fix to one color and is easily removed. The only time I see him being better is when you want to cast an enormous Mutilate .
Chromatic Lantern is way better in multicolor builds when you have spells with restrictive mana costs, like Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker .

thanks to all the comments. I was leaning tward the lantern, but for some reason i really just wanted realmwright to be a way better card than it is. I;m sure we are all guilty of that at times. but I do see the point, i would need multiple realmwrights in some situations and i'd need to protect them and trhe lantern will help anywy since I have a 3 color build. Does anyone suggest Gilded Lotus in this deck a a 2 of also?

Chromatic Lantern because if nothing else it at least ramps for you.
But honestly, I wouldn't bother dedicating resources to playing their cards. It's only going to be relevant a fraction of the time because it's instead more in your interest to pursue your own deck's plan.
And if you play their lands as you miss your own land drops you can eventually cast any of their spells any ways.
