The electric quarks give $2N_c$ copies of the $SU(2N_f)$ fundamental, soIn the magnetic theory the $2{\tilde{N}}_c$ color components of $q$ transform as flavor antifundamentals and contribute $-2{\tilde{N}}_c$. The singlet $M^{ij}$ is the two-index antisymmetric representation of $SU(2N_f)$, whose cubic anomaly coefficient is $2N_f-4$. HenceThis is a direct anomaly check of Seiberg duality.
