Party is a batching mechanic introduced in Zendikar Rising.[1][2]
Description
A player's party consists of up to one each of creatures with four classes: Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard. A player controls a full party if that player controls four creatures with all of these types among them.[3] Each creature in a player's party only fills one role, so, for example, a creature with Changeling will only count as one creature in the party, not four. In that same vein, Zendikar Rising contains creatures that count as all four party classes, such as Tajuru Paragon. Similarly to Changelings, Tajuru Paragon and other cards like it can only count as one member of a party, despite being all four classes.
Abilities that care about the number of creatures in a player's party simply look for a number between 0 and 4. A player never has to identify which creature is filling which role. These abilities will use that number in various ways. If there are multiple different ways you could count a player's party, resulting in different numbers, the player always gets the highest number. There are no choices involved.
Some cards have bonuses if a player ha's a "full party." This means all roles are filled: that player controls a Cleric, a Rogue, a Warrior, and a Wizard. Remember each of these must be different creatures, in case a creature has more than one party-relevant creature type.
Examples
Example
Coveted Prize 
Sorcery
This spell costs 
less to cast for each creature in your party. (Your party consists of up to one each of Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard.)
Search your library for a card, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library. If you have a full party, you may cast a spell with converted mana cost 4 or less from your hand without paying its mana cost.
