My first thought is something like Rowen or Into the Wilds. Not sure if those are already being used, or if revealing your card causes too much trouble, but they’re options.

You could play spells meant to pull a bunch of lands out of the deck such as Nylea's Intervention or anything similiar.
You could also try tutoring for Abundance but in monogreen, your only option might be Three Wishes which isn't good.

Maybe add in Abundant Harvest in addition to Abundance.
Loamcrafter Faun looks like a great way to recycle some cards. Nantuko Cultivator is similar.

If you already have a bunch of lands on the battlefield you could Scapeshift to reduce the number of lands left in your deck. Not really sure how many lands you will typically have in play by the time you are wanting to stop drawing them.

I like to think my Sasaya list is pretty well put together if you want to check it out. It's a bit more combo oriented but, cards like Nylea's Intervention or Realm Seekers to thin lands, and Scroll Rack or Phyrexian Portal to dig, may be what you're looking for.

Sasaya is one of the first commanders I built around, so I would like to provide some advice! In my experience, I find that you can balance out the "drawing into lands" problem by giving yourself an abundance of card draw effects. This is becoming easier with cards like Reckoner Bankbuster and Endless Atlas being printed. With Sasaya, specifically, Book of Rass is pretty good, as you can almost always afford to draw multiple cards post-transformation.
Another thing I would strongly recommend is to run all the cycling nonbasic lands available in your colors, like Tranquil Thicket and Blasted Landscape. You can primarily use them as lands in hand which help Sasaya transform and then replace themselves after the fact. That way, you're able to have some utility in your land slots without taking away from the "land name matters" theme.
Final thing I want to say is that I noticed you have Rocket Launcher. If you like winning games like this, Goblin Cannon is almost entirely the same, functionally-speaking, so I would recommend running it alongside it!

Crockosneef thanks all, but Goblin Cannon will not self destruct after one actvation?

Goblin cannon will sac after one activation but you can activate it multiple times before the sac trigger resolves.

Felipix So Goblin Cannon is worded a little different compared to most self-sacrificing artifacts. Sacrificing the cannon is actually part of the effect, itself, not the cost, so that means the cannon only gets sacrificed upon effect resolution. That means you can put multiple activations on the stack and they can still all go off.

Horn of Greed. Doesn't stop the draws, but the lands you play will cantrip.

Mono green 101 Is this the deck you're looking at?
My first thought is to cut down on the number of lands. You have a lot of ways to get lands into your hand, which is good, but with as many lands as you have, you're going to be drawing into a lot, too.
Another thought is to find something else to do with extra lands in hand, like Dawnstrider, Ayula's Influence, or Stampede Driver.
