Official rulings

  1. Ruric Thar's triggered ability triggers whenever any player casts a noncreature spell, including you. (2018-03-16)
  2. Ruric Thar's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability will resolve even if that spell is countered. (2018-03-16)
  3. If Ruric Thar can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player's control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so Ruric Thar doesn't have to attack in that case either. (2018-03-16)
