I hate myself for using Cloudstone Curio since I secretly hate it, but it\'s too darn cool in combos. Pretty simple, with Gateway and Curio out, cast Commander, which makes two goblins. When those goblins come into play, bounce the Commander. Replay the commander using Gateway and tapping the two tokens. Repeat to your hearts content. SImilar to the one I posted with Chancellor of the Forge, I just thought this seemed a little cleaner.

SIgh. I originally wrote an explanation to that, but i took it out because i thought it would be presumptious to explain it but I guess not. You can tap creatures as a cost. Creatures without haste can not activate abilities that contain {t} or attack on the first turn they come in. But you can tap them to pay for costs the turn they come in (like for convoke). For example, you can tap Azami to draw a card the turn it comes into play, but you can't tap Arcanis's ability the turn he comes into play. See the difference?

He's right.  The Cryptic Gateway is doing the tapping, not the goblins that just came into play. 

I always think of it as the goblins can't use the vacuum when they come into play, but they can certainly be sucked up by it.

Or you can think of it like "The goblins can be forced to do work on the first turn, but they won't do it of their own accord."
