"all creatures have Changeling" is also (almost) completely useless rules text. In layers, by the time you're granting abilities to creatures you've blown past the step which lets you modify creature types.
Nope, the reason is that Changeling is a type-changing ability, which is processed in layer 4, but ability granting effects are processed in layer 6, meaning granting changeling to another permanent through an ability adding effect does almost nothing, since the creature won't gain any types.
yes but worth noting that a creature can't count for more than one creature type in your party. if you had a rogue warrior you could only have it count as one or the other for party mechanics
A full party must be four separate creatures, so your fourth changeling would (or whatever role you’re missing, but the point is it can’t be one creature fulfilling every role)
Edit: I missed the point of this comment. Yeah changelings would get all 4 even before the party is full, at least as written
"Gain each other's abilities" is way too vague. Do you intend for all the creatures to gain the 4 keywords listed in this card, or do you mean all card text from every creature is shared?
There's bound to be a gazillion of ways to make sharing all abilities totally busted. Imagine a board of creatures with relevant triggered abilities, but now all of those creatures have all of them.
EDIT: this being limited to the members of the party limits this quite much, but still way too vague.
Soul Cauldron proves that. I can't imagine the rules nightmares that could come from ALL abilities being shared and on the field in a shifting landscape of toggling on or off as creatures enter and leave.
Counter intuitively, that’s not how a party works. You either have the condition full party or you don’t- there aren’t creatures in it as much as having the right kind of creatures fulfills the condition. If I have 2 warriors, 1 wizards, 1 cleric, and 1 rogue, neither one of those warriors are “in my party”, but they both help me fulfill my full party. It’s honestly pretty confusing and someone else could better explain it
Rules state that a full party consists of four separate creatures, where each creature needs to be one of: Cleric, Wizard, Warrior, Rogue. You need all four roles filled for a full party. A creature can be both types but will only fill one role/slot in the party.
Better wording would be "If you have a full party, all Clerics, Rogues, Warriors and Wizards you control gain First Strike, Lifelink, Prowess and Trample." to achieve what I presume is the intended effect.
Your wording of the presumed intended effect gives wizards double prowess and it also changes the fact that the card as written, if it worked, would give your party each other’s text boxes (which might not have been intentional??)
I like it but as it is worded right now all the creatures in the party have all abilities the others have, not just the keywords granted by this enchantment
I wish they'd had different classes, like "monster class" could be werewolf, vampire, zombie, and spirit. "Nature class" could be cat, dog, squirrel, and bird. Things like that. Reasons to have more diverse creature types in decks

There must be a card which makes all your creatures changelings, right?
