Having it do what it says instead of what it currently does would clearly be a buff; I'm not sure how significant it would be. I crafted it after being misled by the wording because I wanted to seed two more primes into my deck. How much of a buff is the extra prime? Not much. I recognized it as a super slow strategy that would rarely pay off. You'd need a fatigue deck for it to be worthwhile, and fatigue is pretty rare these days.
I guess the biggest buff would be in a deathrattle deck when you draw Vectus after losing one deathrattle minion but not two. Not an OP strategy at all. Perhaps it would be better in future expansions with better deathrattle options.
When I thought the card did what it claims to do, I figured Vectus was a strong, fun legendary in the right deck...certainly not an overpowered card. Now that we know it doesn't do what it claims to do, we see that it's a pretty weak card. It's super early in the expansion, but the card is in less than 1.3% of decks with a 46.7% win rate (bronze through gold on hsreplay).
If they want to keep the current functionality, they should change the language to make it correct. They could say "each whelp gains the deathrattle of different minion of yours that has died in this game." That sure is clunky, which is why they took an unclear shortcut, I guess.
At any rate, the card text now is wrong. It says "each gains a deathrattle" when that does not happen.
I crafted Vectus to play him in decks with primes. There are no other deathrattle minions in these decks. I was quite surprised when my 2nd whelp had no deathrattle, since the wording of the card indicates that each gains a deathrattle.
I disagree. “From your minions” means from among your minions that died this game. It clearly says “each gains a deathrattle”. But each does not gain a deathrattle. The card does not do what it says it does.
Vectus does not do what the card says he does. Fix vectus! Each whelp gains a deathrattle from one of my dead deathrattle cards. If I’ve only played one deathrattle card, each whelp should get that deathrattle. Fix the card, or fix the English!

Free Vectus!
Well, the easiest fix is to change the card to do what it says it does.
alternatively, you could change the language, but I haven’t seen a suggestion for that yet that is both clear And succinct
It apparently can be read in two different ways, which is reason to clarify it.
