Almost all the links are dead...
Are these just arts? Salvation only seems to have mention on the Gruul guy's abilities.

^^^^ Yeah, there's no way they'd spoil all ten already.
That's one damn badass ability to be sure. You're going to need a bit more than 4 Deathrites to land it in a reasonable time-frame, though.

Ruric Thar is pretty awesome.
But what deck can actually make use of him in Legacy? Red Nic Fit?

If that deck makes room for any (more) 6cc creatures they should probably be (more) Primeval Titans. Same for Loam decks.
You'd want a deck that (a) uses spells for utility/answers and not to keep the deck running, and/or (b) is sufficiently aggressive that you can expect the opponent to be at, say 12 life or less when Ruric drops.
Some twist on Jund seems the most obvious candidate (and therefore probably the wrong one), it would need a way to stretch the mana curve up juuuust a bit without diluting the deck with pure ramp crap, or making Bob unplayable. A card like Koth of the Hammer comes to mind - ritual if you got fatties, board presence if you don't - but it's probably not good enough.
Thinking more out of the box: how's the all-creatures fuck-noncreatures gimmick deck coming along? Thalia/Teeg/Glowrider for taxing, Heartwood Storyteller for drawing, Animar, Soul of the Elements for ramping (and resilient beating), now Ruric Thar. We've got to be getting close.

Non-creature taxing is terribly inefficient against other creature decks - and there are quite a few in Legacy. Lodestone Golem, however, would wreck everyone's shit if there was a decent way to power him out early on a regular basis.
Why not run your own KotR then? Grab a Cradle and power him out.
He probably will be decent in Jund nic fit. Besides prime titan, the other options they have for efficient green 6 drops arent very strong (broodmate dragon). This guy would probably suck against any deck with KotR, but wreck control. Its win more, but stick him against a combo or tempo deck and you win.
