Why Collections.shuffle(cardsInDeck) ?

I noticed MutableList also has a shuffle function. Wouldn't it be more logical and convenient to do cardsInDeck.shuffle() instead of Collections.shuffle(cardsInDeck)? Or is there a difference?

MutableList's shuffle wasn't available during recording. It was only recently added in Kotlin 1.2. Either should work fine :)
