Nice swing. For comparison, consider:

I think the titlle is wrong, there is nothing in the deck to obtain mill effect, you get out Chamber Sentry for nothing sure,

but there are no Millstone, no Psychic Corrosion, no Drowned Secrets etc...

Even it's a good idea & mecha...

Arcane Adaptation Makes Everything a Zombie
Lilianna, Untouched by Death lets you cast Zombies from the Graveyard
You can cast Chamber Sentry from the graveyard for (0) an indeterminate number of times.
Every time you cast Chamber Sentry, Diligent Excavator mills your opponent for two.

You've achieved infinite mill.

Important note: you're in Abzan, not Temur.

I really like this deck and the cleverness of it. Have you considered replacing Circuitous Route with World Shaper? Increases your creature count, you only have 10 valid targets for the spell, and it is another way to get lands out of your graveyard. Additionally, consider Stasus // Statue as a make things go away sideboard option.

It is rather odd. I know there are decks in your database using Obelisk Spider. The search function however, doesn't want to cooperate.

I've seen people plotting on it for EDH, but past that I don't think it will be garner much regard among those that play Modern competitively. With perfect draws and hitting every land drop, the earliest this works is turn 5, assuming no interruption from the opponent.

So with the Oathsworn vampire, can it come back multiple times in the same turn even if you only gained life 1 time that turn?

Oathsworn Vampire doesn't care how many times you've gained life, just that you've gained life this turn. It is "if you've gained life" not "when you gain life."

A possible interaction would be:
1. With Bontu's Monument, Pitiless Plunderer, and Yahenni, Undying Partisan in play, cast Oathsworn Vampire for B.
2. You've cast a black creature, so Bontu's Monument drains 1 from the opponent and you gain one life.   You've gained life for this turn.
3. Sacrifice Oathsworn Vampire to make Yahenni, Undying Partisan Indestructible until end of turn.
4. A creature has died, Pitiless Plunderer creates on Treasure Artifact Token.
5. Tap and Sacrifice the Treasure Artifact Token to cast Oathsworn Vampire from the Graveyard.
6. Return to (2), unless all opponents have zero life.
7. All Opponents have zero life, and lose the game. You've won the game.

Infinite loops, good thing this deck isn't standard otherwise EVERYBODY would be running this deck.

While there is a weaker version of this combo in standard, it is strictly weaker then Feldar Guardian and Sahil before the ban. You may see it at an FNM, but not much further than that.

Standard Infinite Lifedrain

Since they're creatures, wouldn't they have summoning sickness and then can't tap?

I don't need to tap the Treasure Artifact Creatures.

With the following in play: Treasure token + March of the Machines + Pitiless Plunderer + (Blood Artist or Zulaport Cuttthroat) in play:
1. March of the Machines makes the Treasure Token a 0/0 creature.
2. Next time a player would gain Priority, State-Based Actions are checked.
3. Because of State-Based actions, the 0/0 creature dies.
4. Because a Creature has died, (Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist) Drains the opponent for 1 life, and I gain 1 life.
5. Because a Creature has died, Pitiless Plunderer Creates a treasure, that becomes a 0/0 artifact creature
6. Return to (2), unless all opponents are at 0 life.
7. All opponents are at zero life, they lose the game because of state-based actions. You win the game.

Slips through your Fingers

Pitiless Plunderer and March of Madness + a treasure = infinite loop of 0/0 Treasures being created and dying.
Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat turns those dying creatures into a dead opponent.

This is a first approach, with sufficient tuning to follow.

Madcap Experiment is going to burn hard.
Facing anything with a load of cheap creatures, you're going to get run over before the decks set up.
Your mana curve is stilted hard to the right. Consider a bevy of cheep creatures with loot effects.

As a caution, Tilonalli's Skinshifter doesn't work with Fleet Swallower. The "When attacking" abilities occur at the same time. While it may become a copy of the fish, it won't trigger the fish's ability.
