While Luminarch Aspirant can be good, I think it only truly shines in decks that care about +1/+1 counters. In order to get a more consistent full party and help protect against board wipes, I'd suggest playing Seasoned Hallowblade instead. Also, I'm surprised to see a UW party deck not playing Spoils of Adventure ! A 2 mana instant speed draw 3 with lifegain is absolutely NUTS, especially in an aggressive deck with a lot of low cmc creatures.

Depending on your meta, putting either Apostle of Purifying Light or Remorseful Cleric in your sideboard also gives you more clerics that work as graveyard hate, while Glorious Protector fights the blowouts Party decks tend to experience against boardwipes.

Why not play 4 copies of Spoils of Adventure? I find myself being able to consistently play it for 4 mana on turn 4, and if you're playing Barrin then you should have the blue mana to play it.

Massacar I added custom categories to the decklist to help with responding to your comment.

First off, Thran Turbine and Training Grounds are excellent suggestions, and I'm going to syft through the list to find room for those two, for sure, when I have time.

As for the other specific suggestions, my creature types are somewhat too varied, so Coat of Arms runs the risk of being more beneficial to my opponents than to me, even with as many allies as are there. And Biomancer's Familiar and Heartstone don't really help the commander all that much (though I will consider them because of their potential to help other creatures).

As for the number of creatures, I'm on the fence. Yes, 46 is a shytload. However, look at the distribution of them in my categories. I only have 9 Warriors, which is less than 10% of the deck, and that's the Party type I have the most of. Having a full party is incredibly helpful for casting the commander, and is furthermore vital for cards like Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats, Thwart the Grave, Spoils of Adventure, Nimble Trapfinder, Ardent Electromancer and Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate, without mentioning the other few party related cards. And while I could make cuts from the list of nonparty allies, doing so detracts from the effectiveness of many of the abilities of the allies, which are dependent on having others around to care about. And the changelings alleviate a lot of what I'm saying here, but I only have 4 of them, and they're the only ones I care to have.

So, in short, I get it. But nearly 50% creature just seems to me to be the way to build around the party mechanic effectively.
