Vanheim and blood

The Vaetti Hag isn't sacred, IIRC, so therefore has the upkeep of a $55 unit. A base hag will hunt only twice as well as a scout, for more than twice the cost, so a Vaetti Hag would only pay off if you hunted with an SDR. Not quite as economical as the Mictlan Priest, but definitely an option for base Jotun.

With Vanheim, I think you need to make the decision on whether to play them as a blood nation at the pretender design stage.

Even if you opt not to play as a hardcore blood nation, it won't hurt to have a few scout hunt for blood, to be put to use for tasks like blood sacrificing at times when you really need to push out Dominion faster, or forging an occasional blood item like a Black Heart to turn a Vanjarl into a mean assassin.
